Just a thought...could be ...

If you hit the other car and the engine stopped the power brake function
would not function. The brake pedal would collapse and go down by several
inches. The brakes would still work but you would have to press the pedal
very hard. When the engine is restarted the power brake would return to
normal. I assume that after bring the car to a stop it was towed to the
shop. Did the pedal actually go to the floor or did it just drop by a couple
of inches? Next time you turn of the ignition try doing it with your foot on
the brake pedal. As the engine dies the pedal will sink.
