There is nothing going on under there, so as long as it didn't get to the door opening you should have no trouble. You should check under the wheel well; if it got to the area where the wheel well lining meets the fender then I think they will have to remove the fender to straighten the liner. They will argue that this is unimportant; you should argue back. It may be to your advantage to help remove the fender. You will probably be more careful about the interior panels, the rear bumper, and the tail light wiring than they will be. The usual body shop practice is to just cut any wires and then splice them back later. This repair lasts about a year, if they do it right.
