As of May, 2014 the average Mechanical Labor rate is $110 per hour. Body Labor is $85 per hour. Frame and Glass Labor is $98 per hour. These rates are averages based on my experience (I am in the industry). Insurance companies typically don't pay these rates, although they should.
The average price for repair depends on how bad the damage is, how old the car is and how many hours of labor are required. On average this can range from $25.00 all the way to how much the car itself is worth, if it is the latter then it is better to total the vehicle.

Depends on the make, model, and year. To find out repair costs for most modern cars (estimates) you can check out driverside.com- they have a repair cost calculator which tells you the cost of most common repairs, how much labor costs in your area, and how many hours are needed to do the repair.
Can't answer that one, to many variables.
Parts plus however long it takes times the hourly labor rate for your area.
