Default Roof Repair on 300h

There was a pretty bad storm a few weeks back and a branch fell on the roof of the car a foot or two behind the sunroof and created a dent about 4-5 inches by one inch thick.

Apparently with a dent like that, they have some disassembling to do. Should I be concerned that the body shop (which is associated with the dealership - they dealer owns about 8 dealerships and this one body shop services them all) won't put the car back together as well as it is now? If not, what options do I have?

Thanks-been happily reading this forum since buying the car a year ago.

Sorry to hear about your car. I would think the dealer's body shop would be about as good as anyone to have fix your damaged roof. If there is no paint damage you might ask one of the dent removal guys if they can handle a dent of that size. I have seen them do some pretty amazing things with even fairly large areas. Good luck.
