paintless dent removal could be an option, depending on the damage

Statefarm will either:
1. Take a quote from a reputable shop of your choice and cut you or that shop a check minus the deductible, or
2. Give you an estimate themselves and cut you a check minus the deductible and send you on your way to find a shop that will fix it for that amount or less.

I personally chose option #2 and ended up with a better deal than those that were going to shops for their estimate because I could use the check anywhere I wanted. This could include a paintless dent removal place which would be your best option if you know a good one and the dents are small enough to be removed easily.
