Lexus Scratch Repair

[Bowen Yong]

So today i was driving my car out of the car park, as i turn i made a really small turn and scratched my back wheel and door area to the metal pole...its quite bad..i was wondering does anyone know any place for smash repairs and how are they gonna repair it?

They will take the inner trim out and tap out out, then probably lightly sand it out and a quick blending spray job i would image.

[Bowen Yong]

Thanks man..do you know just roughly how much will it cost to repair??

I'd be more worried about the bald tyre cause that thing will kill you!

[Bowen Yong]

its actually not that bald...its just a bad pic that i took at night, but i am gonna changed them soon to Michelin Pilot sport...

From the looks of it, the scratch may be superficial (on the clear coat). Try buffing it out with some compound like scratch x.

My brother swiped my car against a brick wall and it looked bad like that but i buffed it out and only a few marks remain, not noticeable until you get up close.

If not ilv1004s smash repair is the guy to go to. I vouch for their work.

sorry guys i claimed my insurance..THANKS a lot for the help! btw i also went to the parramatta smash repair the one Lexus approved, they took a look at it and quoted $3000 bucks..! what a rip off..

[d_porkypine]

jeez, I wonder what they were going to do for $3000 unless the damage is worse than what it shows in the pic....

[Bowen Yong]

haha they are just quoting prices man..first the guy came out took a look and he said: mate you're looking at 3000 bucks repair as the rear door panel needs to be replaced and this and that...anyways i just went for a normal smash repairer approved by NRMA..its just as good!
