Default Starting issues with my IS250 after being rear ended

I'm so frustrated. I was rear ended almost a month ago. Lexus Collision fixed it, however, since I got it back about 10 days ago, it's been idling rough on occasion. There is a buckling or crunching noise coming from the rear passenger side where it was hit. It was totally dead a few days ago and they had to come tow it back to the collision center. They said there were no stored codes and that it was just a loose battery cable. Said when they do welding they take the battery out and that when they put it back in, they didn't tighten the cables. I got it back and now today, when I tried to start it after work, it makes a quick clicking noise and won't start at all. The break pedal was locked up but all the lights inside came on. The head lights worked and so did the a/c, but it wouldn't start. I waited about 20 minutes or so, and then it started. It was a slow turn over but it did start. So now what is wrong with it??? Any idea?? I just want my baby back! It's been such a great car and now I feel like since being rear ended I'm having all these issues!

It could be your battery, have it tested and how old is it?

Could be a bad ground, starter or fuel pump.
