if you want to avoid the price having sod set down... there is a way to do it on the cheap.
i'm not quite sure how severe your problem is... but there is a decent chance some sand and a few laps with a heavy roller would do the job by itself.
string level and pour sand/dirt in the deep holes when the ground is dry. then, wait until the ground is soft from rain (but not too soft, you'll just bog down and damage your grass) and do an even roll as if you were mowing it to smooth out the little hills.
your lawn will most certainly be damaged, but it recovers well from the sand and a little care with the roller will not make it too traumatic.
