hmkim Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I finally got a ding & scratches on the body panel near the driver's side rear wheel of my 06 ES330. Should I visit my dealership or can any body shops do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Can you post pics of the damage? I would have the dealership near the top of my list for body repairs personally.......but it does not hurt to get several estimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Actually I would not use the dealership and here's why. Dealerships have a built in source of business, people automatically use the dealer. You're better off finding an independent shop that works on a lot of high end cars that has good references. These shops depend on their quality to survive. JMHO.

SAFRO.COM Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 SW03ES is absolutely right. the dealerships use other businesses for for body work. Our dealership uses Goff's auto body and glass, and ABRA body and glass. Two big companies who do fine jobs. We dont have body repair in our shop, but we sure can buff out scratches.

Step Hen Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 x2. Most like the dealer hands off their body shop work to a local place. Find out from your dealer who they use and go straight to the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 many of the Lexus dealers in these parts are linked with a Toyota store.....with their own body shop on site. But I understand that's not the case everywhere. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
