Default Nose Troubles

Some idiot backed into my baby today. Of course parked no where near anybody. I have scratches and heavy scuffs on the nose.

I took it the dealer and they want $686 to refinish the nose.

Does anyone suggest someone else in the Houston area?

Brakes my heart.

Of course no one stopped and no camera for surveilience in the lot.

Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear. Perhaps the offender didn't realize they had hit your car but I'm inclined to think otherwise. Some people have no sense of responsibility. Good luck with the repair.

As long as they guarantee their work to YOUR satifaction and not only to theirs that sounds like a good deal. It's hard to match the plastic bumpers to the body color but a good painter can do it. Even from the factory there is sometimes a slight color variation. Sorry this happened to you. Mine is in the shop now for a similar situation. Even if you were there when it happened they probablly would swear that they didn't do it.

Doesn't sound like that bad of a price to get the job done right.

If you take it to the dealership make sure they put the orange peel back into it to match the rest of the car.

Seriously though that sucks. Hope it all works out for you.
