I noticed it yesterday as I was washing my car. The damage went across about 1/4 of my door, so it wasn't too bad. I got a quote during lunch from my favorite body shop, and they said it would be about $480 to fix. My car is going in Wednesday and should be no out later than Thursday afternoon.

Why are people such Lexus haters?

Erin,

That completely sucks. That is not cool that someone did that to your car. Karma will get them!!!

sorry to hear that Erin.

just don't take it personal, the people often keying the car LOVE the car, but are just too jealous because it's not theirs.

Update: I got my car back that same day it went in the body shop...

The work looks awesome! And since it only took one day to repair, they cut my estimate price in half.

San Joaquin Collision, Inc. is the best.

I have a few scratches on mine. I blame them on my neighbor since we don't get along. I think I will need to setup a camera that looks outside of my window and catch them in the act.

Sorry to hear about this Erin. Damn, $480 for one door? Someone keyed my brother's car (on BOTH sides) and I spent all of Tuesday using my porter cable machine to get the scratches out. I guess I should have charged him more than a beer...

Anyway, glad you got your car back already!

$480 was reasonable compared to what the body shop at Lexus would've charged me. Plus I totally trust this body shop more than the dealership. It really only came to like $200 since it only took a day.

Aw...you're a nice brother. Don't get too heated up while you're in Dallas.
