If it's not to the steel, most likely it will buff out for you. However, you will need polishing compouns.
As far as a body shop, there needs to be a break in the body line to end the new paint so you don't see it. If there isn't a bood break, they may want to repaint the entire panel. That could could cost up to 4 or 5 hundred dollars based on where you live.

Suggested Repair
If the scratch has not reached the steel, it may buff out with polishing compound. A body shop needs a body-line break to blend new paint; otherwise the whole panel may need repainting, which could cost about $400 to $500 depending on location.
