Let the insurance take care of it, or if you have the time and money go get it estimated yourself through some of your local body shops, see how much the damage is and see if you can pull the money out of your pocket..because having insurance claims will mean higher rates later on. If your planning to just go along with the claim, just include the dents, since their fixing it anyways...I would do the same..

I live on Long Island too... GO TO HASSELL AUTOBODY ON 109 in West Babylon! Have the car towed there and let the insurance company go there to look at the car!
