Ok, other day I backed into a car which was parked ****-eyed in my friends drive-way.
Backing up while talking to someone out your driver side window with slanted car on right = 3 egg size dents on back right fender plus some decent scratches.
Luckily, the people's whose car it was didn't care, and the kids dad I know has some sweet hook-ups.

I took the car to a guy he knows who has a body shop and he said he will have to take the fender off through the back seat, fix the dents, and repaint it to match exactly. He said he can do this for $200.

Good deal or not?

You might try fixing the dents yourself and having them paint it.

So 200 is too much for all that?
I don't want to do it myself, would feel more comfortable if someone who knew what they were doing did it.

$200 sounds reasonable to do that repair. If you just have some small dents in your car just get some phirana putty, sand the dents and area around them, fill them in with the putty and sand smooth then take it to the shop to primer and paint the areas... Do the same for the scratches. Something small like that wont be hard at all to do.

i say screw doing any of the work yourself. for only $200, you shouldve done more damage that sounds like an awesome deal to me
