One thing: There should be no external visible damage. It should return to you the same shape it was before collision. Under the bonnet there may be visible welds, which should be treated and painted on both sides. If this isn't the case, then you would be within your rights to complain, as welds rust like nobody's business if left unprotected.

But cars repaired by hand will never be the same as cars built by machines. For example, a robot with a sealant gun is not the same as a man with a brushable seam sealer. It doesn't mean it's not repaired properly, just a different method of achieving the same end result.
