Locked keys in my car and I think the tow truck company damaged my door

So I have a question. I locked the keys in my car. I called the tow truck company and they opened my car a way I've never seen. Normally they use that hanger looking thing and unlock it. This guy first used a wedge at the top of the door (above the glass... Way top by the roof.). Then stuck this airbag thing in and pumped it up until the top of my door was about 4 inches bent out so he could use a poker thing and unlock the door using the power lock button in the door.

I asked him why he didn't do it like everyone else with the coat hanger down the window and he said its not possible to use that method on my 04 impala.

Well he got the car unlocked and then closed the door and the top of the door was bent out at least 2 inches. I immediately pointed that out. Next thing he's doing is trying to bend my door back. He got it close but its still about 1/4 inch off from the way the drivers door is.

I called the owner of the shop and he sided with the driver and said it is the only way to unlock this car. I'm thinking there is a manual door unlock rocker switch. Why can't they use the coat hanger thing and just move it with the rods in the door?
