Default [ADVICE] Rear Bumper

so an elderly woman clipped me (passenger rear) and i finally talked to her insurance company...

i need to get it estimated and i need a reliable shop that actually has down work on scions (possibly near the temecula area)...

and this my first time having to do this.. so if you have any advice it would be appreciated...

thanks.

hey, i don't know what kind of damage you have. but:
Make sure all parts are replaced with factory Scion parts
Make sure no bondo/ filler is used.
Make sure you are compensated with a rental car.
be persistant, but tell the body shop you take it to , to TAKE THIER TIME. if they rush, then theyll do it half-assed! as someone who has a friend that that works at a body shop,trust me, when thier rushed, steps get skipped!

i would think that the Toyota/Scion body shop would be able to do a good job matching colors and stuff.....try your local dealer/service guy....
