asked by on March 27, 2018

I was rear ended Thursday night , though minor bumper damage , neck shoulder and back pain after. Took my car to Service King for estimate this morning, quoted 650.41 to replace bumper and floor mats. AC also stopped working since the accident. Service King says no way related, Honda's looking at the car now to determine what the issue is but stated its possible it could be related to the rear ending? Just need another opinion before I press the insurance company handling , thank you
