Good luck man. I had a fuck up like this, no way near as bad but someone hit me too. When I took my car to the shop I asked them how they deal with dents since I didn't want them just to dump bondo magic into the dent sand it down, make it straight then paint over it. They said they have a machine that calculates the center of the dent then punches a dime sized whole into the center of the dent to pull it out. Then they spot weld the dent and only used the bondo to smoothen out the surface.

Ask questions that show you know what to look for. Ask them how they color match your paint, ask them how much bondo they actually use, ask them if they sand down the surface around the dents and scratches.

This kind of shit pisses me off, people just don't pay attention anymore but your car will make it through.
