Default How much to remove scratch

How much does a body shop charge to remove scratches? I have 2 scratches. One around 5", the other aound 10. Damn neighborhood kids scratched my car.

Go to a detailer and get it buffed out. I had a bad swirly scratch on my hood that is 99% gone thanks to my detailer friend.

I just did the finger nail tes. Looks like it's down to the primer. I ran my finger across the scratch and felt it. Which means it would require repaint right? I'll still try to give a detailer a shot to see if it can be wet sanded out. But i may end up at a body shop. Best pic I can get follows
