At least the panel below the door looks ok. It's glued to the frame and hard to replace. Looks like you need a new door.

Whatever the cost of a new door skin is and the labor to R&R and paint.

Probably cannot replace the door skin as the support beam may be bent. Door may need to be replaced...

The rocker looks like it can be fix, rather than replaced. It’s a PITA to removed as it is glued and would’ve certainly added to the cost. I’d say $4K’ish.

Given your other post on the issues now with the inside of the door. I'm starting to wonder if trying to find an undamaged door from a junk yard and having it painted to match would not be the cheaper of alternatives...

Not sure why you would ask the forum how much it will cost to fix because we have zero facts to back up our GUESSES.

If I were you I would push the repair shop to replace not repair the door. In fact, I would bring it into the dealer first and get them to write up an order for the cost of a door replacement even before bringing it to a shop.
