ok, so i take the car to the toyota body shop, and they say they have to call in the parts and everything. i need parts for the front bumper and stuff like that, and they don't know how long it will take to order. so does anyone know how long it would take???

 

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but c'mon now, you know better than coming here and not leaving a story and/or a couple of pics.

And to answer your question, from what i've read about people and their repair jobs, it will take awhile to get parts in due to the fact that most of the parts manufactured for the tC go into the production of them.

 

well, i don't have a digital camera to take pics, but it's nothing too serious, it's still driveable, but i still get weird faces from ppl who look at the nice car and see like the hood popped up. but any idea how long it will take?? cuz i know it will be a while, but i dont' want to wait for months or something!

 

No clue, but my guesstimate is a month or two... max.

 

my corolla had its rear bumper and tailight ripped off, at a local (non toyota) bodyshop took one week for old parts. for new parts i dunno. but if i DID Take my rolla to toyota it would have taken 3 weeks.

 

Been waiting 6 weeks for a few small interior pieces. Good luck. I hope you enjoy your rental car.

 

wooowowowow, i'm gonna kill myself now. good bye.

 

Not humorous, even if you were joking. No sub-$20k car is worth killing yourself over.

 

NO car is worth killing yourself over.

 

Let's amend that to say "no car or other possession is worth killing yourself over."

 

=\
well i was saying i would kill myself, (out of frustration of course) bc i have no other mode of transportation.

soooo my next question is..........you think any OTHER shops, i dunno, like other body shops could do it?? or is it only from the dealership, since only they can get the parts, or is it the same waiting time for all shops??

 

Problem you're probably going to run into is that b/c the TC is so new they are probably pushing out parts just to go on the cars as fast as possible and replacement parts are probably being mader per order.

 

This is probably obvious, but did you check to see if your insurance will cover a rental car?

 

sorry dude... at least no one was hurt. get a rental and when your car is fixed you'll appreciate it even more

 

I had to get a windshield ordered for my tc 3 weeks after it came out and it took 2 weeks to come cuz they needed to get it shipped from japan... I'm *assuming* that now they should be getting production of parts done a little quicker.. but im just taking a wild guess here..

But hey, if its a hood you need... You could always get a carbon fiber hood.. HAHA.. no dont do that :oops:

 

well, it's not just the hood i need, it's also font bumper, vertical support, grille, left headlight and front fender. ya..........= (. so i guess i have to wait a while eh

 

Back to your Chevrolegs I guess!

 

lol, cars are a dime a dozen, scions a nickle.......LOL
stop stressing.....

 

Please tell us where you got your nice "nickel" financing? I would love to get a few more Scions at that price......LOL

i read a lot about the ABS system locking up in the tC on these forums. that's how i got into my accident! what should i do? report to scion HQ and see what they say so i can get my parts in faster???? lol
