If it's creased (where the screw driver may have made initial contact) then I think it's a lot more difficult than just pulling the dent. There will definitely be some sanding and repainting (the entire door, so you don't have one spot on the door with newer paint than the rest).

This is just from experience with my current car and body shops.

I'm not sure if they'd bondo that portion (probably not) though. I'm no body repair expert, but they have always told me that creases are very difficult to just "fix".
