Help!!! Body Repair for IS 250
Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone knows how to get my bumper to be fixed and recommend me tp a good body shop or does any know where to get a IS 250 front bumper from the manufacture/oem? Some homeless person hit my car when I was turning into the street. He was riding his bike against traffic and was drinking... So now I have a crack front bumper and a dent on the hood... Would really appreciate if you can find me a good and not that much of price (which I probably doubt I will though) place near by LA but if I have to drive around other places it will be great, just not too far....

All ready have done it but I didn't get much money out of it because of the situation. So yeah, I got an estimate of 1400 at one of the places they told me to go to. Other then that would like to see if you know a place that does a decent job or at least a little bit cheaper? Usually the cheaper it is the bad outcome of the work becomes... If you can help it would be great for me... thanks...

I've had my bumpers done at:
Beto's Autobody
500 S. Raymond Ave.
Suite D, Fullerton
714.447.8371
They've done my front bumper replacement with minor mods and my rear. I've sent one family member over to her bumper painted and so far...
Reasonably quick turn-around depending how busy they are. They haven't done any metal work on mine though. Great follow through, I'm kept up to date on the status. Paint is excellent, keep in mind that mine is 11 years old so a "perfect" match will be pretty challenging. I'm happy.
Pops has had excellent work done at this place:
Eurotech Refinishing & Collision Inc
10045 Artesia Blvd, Bellflower
562.866.5030
He had his '08 Corolla backed into and it was a minor crumple to the passenger and rear passenger doors close to the rocker. He got it back last week and it is clean. Paint matches and not a sign of any damage. Even the door jamb and inner door panel is seamless to the repair. This is an AAA authorized body repair shop too.

Longo Collision in El Monte. Ask for Brandon and tell him Javier referred you. I still haven't seen another repair job that can match what Longo did for my car. Paint match is absolutely fantastic on incredibly-hard-to-match Glacier Frost Mica paint, and the service is second to none...
