Any competent automotive shop should be able to make the repair. Flare-nut wrenches should be used to loosen and tighten the fittings without damage. To re-flare the tubing, the damaged part has to be cut off, preferably with a tubing cutter, and then re-flared with a flaring tool. The problem with cutting off the damaged tubing is that it will probably be too short to re-connect and so you will have to replace the entire fuel line or splice in a section of tubing which I do not recommend due to the possibility of fuel leaks and fires.
