Help: body shop caused electrical problems!

I'm still fuming this morning after picking my car up last night. I was rear-ended by a Land Rover Discovery about a month ago (luckily, very minor damage to the rear hatch of my '94 9KCSE), and just had the damage repaired. I inspected the car before leaving the shop, and everything 'seemed' fine. I became slightly suspicious when the shop-guy opened my trunk with the key and set off the car alarm. Usually it only takes a quick turn of the key to open it, now it barely opens w/o breaking the key! "We adjusted it to Saab-specifications," the fellow has the nerve to tell me. "If you're not happy, bring it back in for adjustment." I should have said, 'fix it now!', but I was too impatient to get my car back after a week.
After I drove off, I notice the gas gauge reads full with the empty light on, the ACC unit is totally dead, and the 'open trunk' button doesn't work. I immediately turned around and told the body shop what was happening. The guy said, no problem, we'll fix it next wednesday.
My question is: how should I approach this problem? These guys obviously aren't savvy about saabs. I wonder if I can demand to have it taken to a Saab-dealer? Should I try to fix it myself this weekend? Could they have simply knocked a ground wire loose? Are there wires in the rear of the car related to the ACC unit???
Thanks for your comments!
