Need expert advice!! Door Dented

You could say i'm pretty t-ed off right now. This kind of stuff sucks when you have a new car. Just bought mine back in April brand spankin new.

Anyhow, I park my car at a Lowes store and come out to find that I have two dents on my passenger side doors. Front and rear. The front one wasnt that bad and I had a door ding remover guy try and take it out. He got about 90% of the dent out but you can still see where the work was done on it.

The rear dent is much bigger and has caused kind of a ripple on the door about 6 inches. The dealer said that I could either get body work done on the car or have the entire "door shell" replaced with a new one for both the front and rear door.

What do you think would be better? A guy at another bodyshop advised that I get body work done instead of replacing the shell because it would be better for the "seal" on the door. Please, please shed some knowledge on me.

I need to make a decision here pretty quick.
Thanks in advance.

It might help if you added some pictures of the damage. It's pretty hard to give a person advice without seeing what the problem is.

Find a reputable body shop! They'll be able to straghten out the damage and re paint.Having the door skins replaced for minor damage is crazy and would be very expensive!
