It was on their property and their employee hit me. Totally not my fault. I wasn't even moving.


seriously bummed...

Sorry to read this dude. Anywhere i go i make sure that i don't park near vans or large vehicles because our car is low and they might not see it while backing up.

I know they have to order new parts & paint them, so I'm thinking 2 weeks?

By the looks of it they will likely replace the bumper and the lights. Is there any dents? If yes might take 3 weeks to repair those. Shipping time on new parts may add up to the time too.

They need to redo it. How's the color match?

It's one thing to be cautious on your first trip from the dealer but I would never imagine this happening, unreal. Sorry to hear man, and I hope your health issues improve. Try to take it easy

looks like a typical 240 problem after a day of slaying tires and making skids! hahah, sorry to hear and see what had happened... MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE PAINT! white IS VERY HARD TO MATCH!

The panels all line up. Where are the gaps? That's just not natural.

wasnt saying it was gonna be a different color like blue or whatnot.... im saying the shade, tone, and from a different angle, the paint could look like its a different shade of white

Yeah, I know. It's the same shade of white, that part turned out OK. The gaps are not factory, but they're straight. I'd rather live with it than suffer through having them mess with it any more. It's like the dealership trying to fix my wheels - seems like every time they touch something, something else broke.

I would never recommend that body shop to anyone. Or the dealership that referred me to them. They did a good job, just not a great one.
