4. I've asked for a copy of the incident report to be faxed to me from the Goodyear store (not received yet)
5. I've called my insurance agent and they are aware. He said the first step was to see how Goodyear would handle it.

Am I missing anything else?
I'd get the shop's insurance into - it should be their problem.

I agree with others - with the hole in the floor and other damage, it should be clearly totaled. The sooner the shop's insurance company realizes this, the sooner you can be out shopping for your new car.

Last - even though the guy who put it on the lift may not be too sharp, at least he wasn't killed.
