I have to repaint the front bumber on my 7 day old TLS due to a dumbass error on my part during parallel parking.

Does anyone in the Northern Virginia know of a good body shop that you have worked with in the past?

Thanks

 

I have used Collector's Auto Restoration twice. I really liked what they did.

Thanks for the reply. Why do you suggest I take it back to the dealership first?

 

I was rear-ended (no jokes!) about a month ago by an old Lincoln. (This really sounds bad now!) Anyway, The Lincoln left some small tears and paint on the bumper. Pohanka Bodyshop was going to repaint but decided to replace the bumper cover. The cost was $524 for everything. (The other guy's insurance paid.) The repaint was going to cost $303. They stated it was much easier for them to replace than repair/repaint. Perhaps this could be an option for you.

If it's what I think he's gonna tell you, save yourself the embarrassment at the dealer and either get a new one or have it repainted.
