Judgement against ex-tenant. Next step?

Hi All, wanted to ask for some advice before I proceed with collecting. I obtained a judgement through small claims ($5k) against a couple who stopped paying rent and damaged my property. My question is what the simplest way (if there is any) to go after them. I know that they do not have much (they own a car for sure), but I do not want them to get away with this so easy. Does the judgement show up on their credit by default, or do I have to do anything else? Did anyone have some experience collecting? Is it worth going back to court and have them declare everything they own, their jobs, bank accounts, etc?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
