Awwww I'm sorry to hear that. Such a pretty color too....I was recently involved in a hit and run accident but we couldn't catch the person. I'm glad that you caught the person that hit your car. Good luck with that.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your baby.

The best quality repair is Sunnyvale Auto Body. Mercedes and BMW dealers send their repairs to this place. But it's expensive.

IceChick got her damage fixed at Anchor Auto Body in Sunnyvale. They were about $1K cheaper than Sunnyvale and did a good job.

If you take it to the Lexus dealer they are going to send it out to another shop anyway so you are better off going to one directly

Erica,
contact me if you still need help finding a shop.

Cecil's shop is very expensive as well. I think he quoted me $3k for the front end, hood and blend the front fenders on my car.

I believe there are shops out there that will do quality work at a fair price for the work performed. (note I did not say "cheap")

Your blue color is a challenge to match up so wherever you go they need to tell you that they are either going to paint that whole side of your car or blend the color into your door.

If the shop tells you they will just paint the rear fender only, I would not trust them. There is a good chance the color will not match at the door line.

Your blue is a tough color to match especially since your car has been subject to fading over the years.

I'm sorry but those who say they will do color matching of your blue to include fading, I am just not optomistic most shops can do it. Make sure the shop you choose blends in the fender to the rest of the car.

Good Luck
