there is no way you rearended someone going 5 mph...that wouldnt do anything but maybe chip some paint!

honda has special bumpers that prevent cumpling at that speed!!
Either you were going MUCH faster or that body shop is bending you over on that price....in all honesty....i bet its both!!!!!!

go otherplaces and get estimates....

wait wait...is this shop that wants to fix your car..the dealer??
