??? For anyone who works in a repair shop / Plea for help

When I was backing out my sisters car this morning,
I managed to get the door caught on a wall, and threw the door out of alignment.

Any ideas how/what I need to do to fix this?

How much would an average price to fix it at a local shop be?

When you start to close the door, it dosn't cloase all the way, and it looks liek it is bent at an angle. I am wondering if it is just the hinges, or if the sheet metal is bent.
Uggghhhh...

Help?

Sounds like you sprung the door try new hinges. If you do replace hinges and it allows it to close make sure to align the striker/latch I had one come into the shop where the owner had srung it then replaced the hinges and slammed the door shut. It took a couple hours to get it to open and get a new latch.
