We had a big snow storm here in Toronto yesterday (400+ accidents across the city). I was one of the unlucky few. After just having some regular service on my vehicle at my Sub. dealership, I was rear-ended while stopped on a busy highway (due to another accident ahead). Although trying to stop, the other vehicle hit me at a pretty good clip (20-30kph my guess). My rear bumper suffered some heavy damage and was knocked loose. The rear hatch was hit in one spot and crumpled slightly inward (still seems to open/close ok). Exhaust system was crumpled forward as well. Also noticed side front door on the right side rubbing slightly more than usual against rubber door seal. Later at the repair shop, I noticed that the key interlock would not release my key and an odd sound from my dash area.
The other vehice (2005 Dodge minivan) suffered heavy frontal damage: crumpled hood, crumpled grill.
My questions:
1) My Outback was taken to an auto repair shop with good relations with my insurance company (All State). Should I be considering my Sub. dealer for repairs (they have a body shop)?2) Are there any other problems should I be on the lookout for after a rear-ender?
3) Any other suggestions/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
