Depends on market price of the car.

its a 2004 lexus es330, 134000km, never had accident, market value is $9-11k

You will be fine. Itll be close but should be repairable.

i want write off

Yeah, something like that. I think they had an aftermarket fender prepared, but I'm supposed to get an oem fender as per my insurance that I have. Whomever they're getting the oem fender from won't air delivery it, so it's will take a week for ground delivery.

I don't know who's fault it is, but at this point, I'm just hoping everything gets fixed flawlessly without any issues the first time around, and the 1+ month wait will then be worth it.

I'll report once my car's fixed, but OP most likely would have chosen a shop by then. Although last week when I talked to Fastrack, they said their current wait time is all the way until mid June.

i think they are going to authorize the cheapest used/aftermarket parts they can find to keep that from happening :(

i can't see the sides of the car in your pic. how are the rear doors closing? are the door gaps tight? hard to close?

You can always take a loss and write it off. Your adjuster can explain allthat to you

rear doors close fine

i asked because i don't know how bad the crumple zones are. so if the doors are okay then there isn't much to pull frame wise and it's still straight...

my uncle recommends fast track as well, but it was years ago when they fixed his car. it still looks good. i didn't know it had a big accident until he told me.

Just dropped my car off at Fastrack. If you do go with Fastrack, better do it soon. They said their last week of May is filling up. lol

Got my car back from fast track couple week ago. flawless. My front bumper is better looking than the rest of my car. Very happy with their work

Bumping thread to ask for any recent bodyshop experience.

Thief broke my door window...

i drive by fast track a lot and i see a lot of luxury cars go there lmao.... ballers!

If window is the only damage, it might be cheaper to find glass at a junkyard and diy install.

Richcity gets my recommendation. My fit got rear ended 6 years ago. Car is pulled, new hatch new, rear bumper. They even sourced my custom CF diffuser, and my japan aftermarket tail lights. Great paintjob on the taffeta white. No shade difference or blotchiness from OEM paint. No runs or hairline cracks anywhere. Hatch was installed properly with no squeaking noises developed after 6 years.

this is a very one sided view, to assume it's all about organization. you have to understand how inconsistent it is in the industry, and how many factors are outside of a body shop's control. it's definitely outside of dealerships "uncontrollables". so much of insurance work is subletted out, so it's up to the subletters, the dealerships for parts, special order items, insurance delays.. list goes on

this was from back in 2016... did you get the car fixed? how was the repair?

i also want to know if anyone here has used sopron autobody? specifically the one in richmond on bridgeport?
