Best way to go about getting the body fixed.

Hello everyone. I just wanted some opinions about what would be the best way to get the body of my car completely fixed. the car has a few dents and rust spots and i want to know if it would be best to buy new fenders or let the shop repair them. They only want about 1k to do everything but im just wondering if there is anything i can do to bring the cost down. thanks for your help. here are some pics.

1k isnt the worst if you buy different fenders they will probably need body work anyway and will never fit right the wheel well lip the ymay just cover it up with new metal so it looks good for a couple years but didnt accually take care of the rust. thats what i found a body shop did to the wheel well rust on my car
