If you could post some pics up would help - it will depend how deep the scratches are as to whether you can polish them out yourself or whether the bodyshop is the only way.

i had good results using cocktail sticks to finely apply primer/paint/lacquer then using 3000 grit to wet sand it and then some farecla g3 compound,and then polish.
this cost me around £15 but its obviously not perfect as the colours are hard to match due to original paint has oxidised over the years.hope you get it sorted mate

buy a small tn of touch up paint from paints4u , around £10, and some g3 compound from halfords and an applicator waffle pad
1st try the g3
deep scratches, i once removed a biggun in rear quater, as above filled it with a line of touch paint, left for a week to dry/settle in, then g3 to smooth/blend the touch paint, good clean,polish,wax after, and it was 99.9% dissapeared and looked magic, very impressed for a 1st time go at something like that
