Hi
I got rear-ended yesterday. There (surprisingly) is no physical damage to the car (looks like tow bar took most of the impact), and the car is running fine. I'm just wondering if it is worth it to take to AA service center for them to check structure of the car?

It probably wouldn't hurt to get someone to have a look at it, preferably a panel beater. Most likely, (and hopefully) no damage has been done if it was a low speed impact, however we heard of a case recently where the owner thought no damage had been done, only to find out a year later when he tried to remove the spare wheel that it was jammed firmly in place as the spare wheel well had been distorted.
