Wow sorry to hear that. I would of gone ape**** too. I wonder how much Lexus is for repairs. My friends RX-7 just got a quote for a ding the size of a ink pen tip on his door for $700 bucks. Yours should be kinda expensive I would think.

Careful about taking it to the dealer. Almost every single one takes your car to some cheap-o body shop and pockets as much of the money as possible. Your best bet is to look around for the best body shop around and pay a good price.

The Lexus dealer I'm going to has a body shop on site. I'm actually going to check out a few other shops as well so it's not certain I'll get the work done at Lexus.

ahh that's cool then. I work for a Lamborghini dealership and we ship them off to some lame body shop whenever they come in and the returned product just makes me sick whenever I see it. We then pocket like 60% of what they pay. Most of the customers have too much money that they don't even care/notice. I'd tinkle in my britches if I got my Lambo back with that kinda work. Just go with your gut instinct!

Sorry to hear that Erica. Unfortunately, I don't know of any body shops in your area. Good luck finding one for your baby. Hope all goes well. Keep us posted.

Thanx everyone. I spoke to a few members about good bodyshops. I'm taking my car to Lexus sometime this week to get a quote along with several other shops. I'll keep everyone posted once everything is taken care of. Happy holidays!!!!
