Never reporting an accident is always a bad thing, no matter how slight. i remember a friend of mine was sitting in her boyfriend's car, parked when another chap roll into the car from behind. not a big thing, just a lil roll.
A few days later she complained of neck pains and came to the hospital where I was working... turned out she got 2 cracked vetebrae in her neck.
Since the accident wasn't reported, she had no compensation to get for almost a year off work and having to wear neck and back braces to stabilise her neck.
Report it, regardless of what the dunceys say.

That was good advice even though the Police fedup take accident reports in Diego. Getting quotes is a good idea and getting one from Toyota might be just for fun. One reason Toyota use this auto-appointment thing is to generate cashflow. Another reason has to do with the amount of Castrol oil they have in storage. Regular maintenance is good but unnecessary maintenance goes a long way in paying higher salaries and bonuses
