You need to look under the rear bumper. There is a re-enforcement bar that runs the width of the car under the bumper. If its been hit hard enough, that bends in half usually.

So definitely check it out. Also, before you get repairs done, get the person to pay for the work. People have a habit of going missing when it comes to payment time.

That's the main thing. If the bar is damaged, it usually indicates structural damage underneath.

Hope you get it sorted soon.
