Scraped a post!

Oh great! While backing out of a parking space today I turned into a large concrete post. The drivers door has some scraped paint, and there is an area about 8 inches across that is now somewhat flat where it used to be curved.

Uggh. I've never had to deal with this sort of thing before. Is it something that Mazda can fix, or should I go to a body shop that specializes in this kind of stuff? Do you think they can just repair it, or will the entire door panel have to be replaced? (It looks like all of the damage is in the door panel, and it's simply cosmetic.)

Thanks in adance for your thoughts.

depending on how bad it is, i'd probably try giving dent wizard a call.
