getting rear ended shouldn't increase your premium, it's not your fault. our sc430 was rear ended and fixed (total everything was like 5k) and our premium never got higher
yeah but insurance companies are crooked these days. always finding an excuse to hike your premiums.
sometimes 2 different companies can't agree to 100% liability, and the crooked insurance company makes you partly liable or something.
you guys are paying pretty cheap for paint. my buddy works at a high end body shop and they wanted around 800 bucks to repaint my whole rear bumper and fix scuff marks in the bumper. i went to the body shop my local dealer uses and its gonna cost me 580 to get my rear bumper fixed and painted.
i was thinking the same.. my mom's es300 had the rear bumper replaced and painted, cost 1100 from the local dealer.
maybe it's all regional. i guess here in socal competition is much higher? 800 to fix and repaint, that's really expensive (and a shop can only be so high end)
i understand what you mean. they do all types of cars but mainly bmw, benz, lexus, bentleys, ferraris, etc... ive seen their work and they do unbelievible work.
i know alot of shop around where i live dont even take the part off the car when they fix it. also they dont blend either. i asked a guy at a local body shop who gave me a quote of around 400 to repair the bumper about blending the paint into the rear of the car and he told me that they wont need to do that. i thought it was kind of odd especially with a car being white and white being the hardest color to match up.
i also think it's funny that they don't blend. while it's not always necessary, but a lot of times blending is a very good technique to smooth out the colors
bottom line though, if they can do good job, that's what counts

yea if they do a good job thats fine but without blending it makes it hard to match the paint no matter how new or fresh the paint is.
