How many quotes have you had?
What car is it?
What colour is it? (Pale metallics often have colour issues & need adjacent panels blending to avoid having one panle a different shade to the rest of the side - worst case would involve painting the whole side)
If you post pics you may get better suggestions.
Is this damage to her own/your car or has she hit another car & is picking up the bill rather than involving insurance - you post is a bit coy on this - as the owner may want to use a specific bodyshop.
