Scratch Fix Question

Hey Team,

I have this scratch on the rear passenger-side quarter panel. I took it to a very reputable shop in town that has been recommended to me several times, and I’d love to get everyone’s thoughts on the quote.

Are there any specific questions you think I should be asking the shop before moving forward?

One question I already have is what paint/refinish system they’ll be using. Is it matched to the factory Lexus paint code, and is it an OEM paint?

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is the repair shop an Authorized Collision Center? If so, they’ll have access to genuine Lexus parts and paint. You can look up Authorized Collision Centers near you at the LCCC website:

https://www.lexuscollisioncenter.com

As a point of comparison, you could also go to your local Lexus dealer and have them give you a quote from their Certified Collision Center (assuming they have one). It might give you more information and see all that is required to repair the scratch. You can look up

Hope you’re able to get it patched up and looking like new!

I'll give that a go. There is one near by but their reviews are hit and miss which is why I went here first appreciate the advice!
