Make sure they check the rear alignment and verify that the cross bar is not bent and that the rear points are within speck. It is very easy to bend the metal back there but thankfully reasonably cheap to replace.

I had a minor impact and the muffler hit the cross bar and it twisted. It wasn't notice for 20K miles until the rear pan had to be removed but couldn't remove it due to the force on the bolts. Also check Motor and Transmission mounts. If the exhaust took a hit the force was transferred somewhere to the chassis.

Take it to a shop that specializes in these cars, most shops will miss the hidden damage.
