Probably push it out best they can then filler it level.......I would have thought.

Best of luck to you anyway - hope it all gets put right

my bodyshop have a special toolwhich they can use to pull dents out from the side its dented!

They put a special rod/stick type thing on a tool and they put that on the dent and it welds itself to the metal then its got a handle which you pull backwards in a pump action type style and this pulls the dent out and then the rod breaks free!

It does solve the problem as you cant pull the entire thing out as it would take ages and would be impossible but it pulls it out enough so the filler work is reduced dramatically!

Sorry for poor explanation!
