Lexus - just scrapped the side of it

annieg

Hi all,

DH bought new (to us!) car couple of months ago and whilst driving this morning I scrapped a small bit at the back of it! (please don't laugh). There is also a crack in the rear light.

Rang Lexus dealer and they recommended their service place in Deansgrange.

How much does anyone know to expect? Are we talking hundreds??? There is not much of a dent, just little scratches along the side.

And if the services guys are too much, could another garage do just a good a job?

Thanks very much for any input.

What model Lexus?

I'd say as a guide the rear light could be €200 or more if it's the LS430, depends then what you scrapped whether it was metal or just the bumper and to what depth the damage was, really difficult to say without a picture. .

Thanks Tipsy Mac.

It's the actual metal not the bumper. Will see what the say tomorrow am. But ****e, if the mirror is 200+, it's going to add up.

Thanks

Would highly recommend Auto Dent Solutions. He did a great job on my car. Was quoted 500 more from another garage for the exact same job.
Plus I got a cover car for the few days he had it.

Thanks. Will get a quote and then will try the Autodent crowd.

Will they fix the paint as well? Or just get rid of the dent?
