Crack in my right door

Well this has been really bugging me. The last owner had an accident, a side impact into the right door. The dealership seemed to just paint over it and now I can see the crack in the fiberglass. I knew about this when I bought the car but the crack seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I was wondering if you could help me and aproximate the cost of this repair. I live in PA 15 minutes away from Phily. Thanks in advance and sorry for the crappy pix

Anywhere from ~500 to repair it, and 1000+ To put a new skin on it.

You may want to look into getting another door. Fiberglass repair is not one of the most fun things to do and most of the shops I have run into do not want to do it right or charge you so much you wont want them to do it. To fix it right you would have to grind away the area that was cracked low enough to come in with resin and matt to build up and reinforce the fiber glass just to fix the crack. It is just so much to do when you could probably pick up a door cheap and even the same color if you aren't in a rush.
