So my dad just backed into my car... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So my car was parked in my drive way and my dad reversed into it today...A bunch of scratches on it and paint chips but no dents. He said he'll fix it since it was his fault. Can anyone suggest a body shop and know approximately how much it would cost? I was told once I get it repainted the paint will chip a lot easier is that true?

Me too! Luckily at slow speed and I had my tow hook mounted plate as the first point of contact. Only damage is license plate screw punctured the bumper.

Just touch it up. Some shops are horrible at matching the colour. Its a hit or miss.
