Can the repairs be accomplished without "reporting" the damage? I had a dent/ding repairman say that his repairs won't show up on carfax reports, whereas all body shop repairs will be reported.

i think they are having it repaired under the table buy a cheap repair shop.i would call and find out the dealers insurance company.then take it to a shop of you choice.you should call your insurance company if you have problems with the dealer.

update to this story..... Last week when the service guy called to tell me that they crashed the car (11/30), he also told me that he would be going on vacation on monday 12/5......when he called me on friday (12/2) he stated that he and the tech would also be on vacation and that the next time I would hear from them would be 12/12.....it seems a little strange to me that if the tech goes on vacation you just keep the car until he comes back. I mean I have take my car to local garages and they have never kept it for almost 2 weeks.......The part that is really pissing me off is that at this point they my bill is $259.00 and thats not even to fix it!
=Joe Z Have you seen the damage..???
At this point they shouldn't be asking you for ANY MONEY what so ever...!!!!!
It's like "adding insult to injury"

To Leelos, please take my advice and listen to what these guys are saying. Then ACT ON IT. I guarantee you will regret it down the road if you do not do something and do it now. But remember, the one concept that resonates throughout all of the previous wisdom is ALWAYS ACT LIKE A GENTLEMAN.

Update,
I talked to the service manager at lexus....He told me that the car should be ready today, and that the damage to my car was just the bumper cover, so they replaced it.....Also said they will cover the cost of the part $425.00 and I will pay the labor $130.00......I have been driving a loaner HS250 for almost 2 weeks.....man I miss my LS430!

Glad its getting resolved. In terms of their offer I guess that's better than asking you to pay for the part and they comp labor. My guess is that they may be getting the part "at a discount" somehow.

and it continues
Oh Boy------So I get my LS430 back last week....and I noticed that the car seems to be sitting a little lower than normal....But I thought maybe since I havent seen the car in 2 weeks etc..... So when I get home I push the button to put the car in (HIGH) position.......When the car is in High position it has a terrible lean, so bad that my wife sitting in the passenger seat says she feels like she is sitting on a slant.....I get out of the car and notice that the rear passenger wheel doesnt adjust when changing the height settings.... Long story short I took the car back to Lexus, the Tech who replaced the rear hieght sensor comes to look at the car and he says, well all the LS430 UL have a little bit of a lean.....I show him that the rear wheel is not adjusting.....
ugh....thought when I took the car to Lexus I was doing the right thing, but I am starting to second guess myself now

What?!?! You should not be paying ONE CENT for their mistake! Quite the opposite, I'd expect some kind of (reasonable) compensation for the damage they did. And now they can't even fix your suspension?
You need to hold these guys accountable.
