I agree.

Well,

It turns out that there is a drive thru center nearby, so I can take my car there for an estimate. The estimate will probably include just replacing the bumper minus $500. I can take that estimate to any shop I choose and they can check for damage.

You can also look yourself. Behind the fascia, if there's no sign of anything having moved, anything bent or distorted, anything the paint or even dirt has been scraped off by relative movement.

It's one of those things where, if you see damage there is damage and if you don't see damage there might be damage but less likely.

I doubt like hell the drive through will do any more than just that, unless you've got a door or tailgate that's sticking. You know, something indicating a problem.
