Hi Everyone. I was involved in a slow collision in my RAV4. I was parked in traffic and someone on the other side of the road was txt'ing or otherwise distracted, and bumped the car on the front driver's side bumper. The bumper, lights, and front quarter panel took the brunt of it. Oh and I got a flat tire so couldn't drive home. Everything else seems fine, hood looks good, driver door etc. Any special considerations on the repairs? I had a flatbed tow it to the body shop that works with my insurance. Anything I should be worried about specific to this car? Thanks in advance.

Any painting should be off the car so the car is not exposed to heat form baking the paint, this seems like a non-issue for your repair.
