How much do you think this would cost to fix at a dealer? Piece of road smacked my fender.

Why would you take this to a dealer? Far better off to go to a reputable body shop.
I've been going to the same independent shop for 20+ years. My WAG would be under $500 and you'd never be able to tell.

You can try to PDR the ding and then use DR. Colorchip on the scratch.
I’d say around $645-800 at the dealership depending on blend time and labor rates in your area unless I’m missing something.

As I tell my kids, "you'll never get out of a body shop under $1k" and so far that's been my experience, even with the little stuff. We go to a top-notch place nearby, and they work magic - but it's not free.

Probably 2k at dealer because they will pull panel and repaint.
At Joe Blow body shop they might be able to fade it in for about $4-500. This is heavily dependent on the skill level of the guy doing it though. Only one guy I ever found that was half decent and he is retired now. Priced things based on how cool he thought the car was and how much he liked you. My $600 job turned into $200 by the time we were done taking. Now that’s old school.

Dentless repair $125, paint and blend to the lower panel $450-$500, so $550 to $600. Tell them you will pay cash and not using insurance up front.

Depends on paint.dealer will use oem matching paint which runs 800 . per gallon.local shops will try to match with whatever paint they have. I imagine you coukd tell them to use oem paint but tell them you want leftover paint just in case you have another incident. Kept in sealed can it'll last a ling time
