If you take to a body shop 3-5 days maybe more. A dealer would probably be the same. As far as doing yourself, you'll need a door saddle to line the door up. If the doors hinges are welded on, your better off letting a professional do it. Sometimes they can fix the doors without replacing it. If you've never done this, don't attempt it.

If it requires replacement of doors then 2-3 days if you take it in. If you intend to do it yourself then you will need some help to replace the doors and make them line up. I assume you know that you have no frame/body damage because then the process becomes much more involved. I would suggest that you take the car in for painting the panels so they better match the car. Painting can take 2-3 days by itself, but I wouls suspect that the the car would be returned if you took it in within a 5-7 business days. If you try to do this yourself plan for an entire weekend.

Depends how hard was the crash... if the paral (the thing between the front door and the back door) is bended... it could take like a week... It also depends where you take it. HINT: When the job is done... you can tell if its well done if the gap between the door (closed) and the rest of the car is even... but if the gap is uneven, the job is not done right.

That really matters on who is fixing your car, if you went to a body shop which deals with that sort of thing maybe 2-5 days, a dealer 1-2 weeks, really matters where you live, if you fix it your self be sure to be careful.

You are crazy to do the work yourself. Please give up on your dream of doing the work yourself and leave it to a professional. It should only take a day or two once you have the repair scheduled

well depending on how backed up the repair shop is could take over a week...if you do it yourself..a day..then you would have to take it to a paintshop or paint it yourself... look for a bout 3 days for that
