Where to take the HS250h for bodyshop work in LA ?
My 3 week old 2011 HS250h was rear ended by another car and the rear bumper,exhaust system and trunk unibody are damaged. Since there is a unibody damage I am afraid to take it to the regular body shop. Is there any lexus only body shops available in LA to do the repar work?.
I called lexus and they ask to take it to the dealer and their recommended body shop. First of all is it possible to fix the unibody damage and even if fixed will it be the same as new ?.
Appreciate any pointers and helpful tips to deal with the repair.
thanks

Can't speak for your area, but where I live there are a few body shops that are "certified" by premium brands. When I had some work done on my Saab, they sent me to a shop that was certified by Lexus, Saab, and I think Mercedes. They happened to be booked too long, so I took it to another shop that was certified by BMW, Acura, and something else. Had great results - they bake the paint on, etc. But there was no frame damage so I can't comment on that.
Your Lexus dealer should be able to recommend a certified shop - most dealers don't do their own bodywork.

That's great that Longo was able to fix your HS.
I can totally relate to your read-ended accident. I was also rear-ended the second week in July 2010. I was on the 57 freeway completely stopped and a young kid with a Ford Focus hit me from behind.
Anyway, glad you and your HS are doing well now. Take care and happy driving...
