$ on replacing quarter panels?

I got smacked and the quarter is trashed. Has anyone ever had it replaced. Parts are not to expensive, but I'm looking for labor $ so I can see if it's worth fixing or time to look for a new bird.

since i am an expert at this (my right rear 1/4 panel has been hit 3 times in the last 6 months) i can tell you exactly what it costs.
1st time-hit hard and need new 1/4 panel. total was $2300
2nd time-a city van hit it and scraped down th side. total was $1300 just for repairs
3rd time-a drunk driver plowed into it and i needed a new bumper and repaired the 1/4 panel and that was $1800
hope this helps
