I was hit and run parked in the street outside my friend's house 3 days after I got the car home from the dealership. It was a quiet dead end street and I never thought it might happen.

The estimate from the body shop was $2100 because I was getting a brand new door. No way was I getting plastic filler AKA Bondo put on my car. The way whoever hit me, they only got my drivers side door and there was a rather sizable dent in it.

After all was said and done, new door, new paint, looks new. Don't worry about your baby, she'll be fine. Just take it to a good shop. I would not recommend bringing to the dealership unless you know for a fact they have an in house body shop. Many dealers out source their jobs to a few local shops.

Puente Hills Scion/Toyota has the worst service. My dad and I went there a couple months back to get my tC and the said they had it over the phone and my dad gave him his cell number. It took me and my dad about an hour to get there and when we got there they said the only manual/white tC they had just got sold before we got there. They could have called my dad to let him know so we could turn around and go home, but they led us on and said we should just get the black one in auto. He said we gave him the wrong number, but it was obvious he picked up the paper with my dad's number out of his trashcan and change the first number from a 5 to an 8. So he and my dad got into an argument and he PUSHED my dad, they were yelling at each other and threatened to call the police if we don't leave because we were angry potential customers with complaints, but we couldn't get a manger because he was the GENERAL MANAGER I believe. I was told by the salesmen there that he was and they directed us to him. Well we left and I didn't get my tC from them, but instead I got it from the Toyota/Scion dealer in Costa Mesa. So far my experience with car dealerships are pretty bad. Sorry this post is irrevelent, but I just thought I would let you guys know about this dealer. I believe his name is Mike, but I don't remember his last name.

ya, they arent know for the great service... well at least the manager arent. but my salesman KRU HICKES was great. even though i am 18, and i look young; he was the only one who approaced me and actually took me serious. so if you do end up going their, then i would ask for kru, otherwise your time their is a waste.
