    A good body shop, unless you have the proper tools and knowledge. However If you did you probably wouldn't be asking this question.

    I haven't checked, but I think most are spot welded onto the body, but a good body shop can replace them quite easy.

    Yes because more than likely you will have to cut out the old one, weld in new ones then body work the seams and paint. Or you would have to pull the damage out then apply some good ol bondo. Ether way is not a quick or easy fix.
