Someone hit my car while it was parked, HIT&RUN
Someone hit my car while it was parked at my job in the parking garage. Scumbags didn't even leave a note
How much do you guys think its going to cost me to get it fixed? & Does Lexus sell parts that are already painted?

Holy crap sorry to hear about that bro. it looks like it came from a hitch from a truck. I had a similar situation about a year ago. People in Texas have no driving skills at all.

If you take it to a dent removing shop it will probably run you around $150-$200. They usually charge you according to how big the dent is and in your case it's pretty big. You seem like one of those people who love their car a lot so I would check with your insurance. Check how much your deductible is. If they messed up the paint on your fender it would probably be better just to go through your insurance and take it to a collision body shop. At least you know when you come out of that place your car would look as good as it did before.

PDR here in California costs about $100 for 2 small 1.5" dents. If we use that as an estimator, it'll run you about $400-$500 for PDR, and keep in mind every PDR guy varies, and I guarantee you not one of those PDR guys can repair that type of dent to 100%, probably 96-97%.

Looks like you need a fender to me. That dent removal service will have to warp it back into shape. They could probably do it but it may still be wavy. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice guys, I guess I got some calling around to do tomorrow.
Sucks Lexus isnt like Honda when it comes to pre-painted replacement parts.
