I stupidly damaged my RX350 today in a gas station and the back door was damaged as attached photo. As we're both working and have no time to drive the car around for cost comparison, I'd like to know roughly how much it costs either at Lexus dealership or a local body shop (in the area of NY five borough). Also I noticed that there is a company that can provide on-site mobile repair for dent at cheaper price and less time. And looks like they're affiliated with one of NJ Lexus dealership (http://www.tristatedentremoval.com/l...t_repair.html#). Are they any good worth tapping into? Any used them before?

Thanks so much for your inputs.

Sorry, PDR is for small dents, when the paint has not been damaged. It's not the case for you.
The entire side will need to be repainted and blended-in. That's about $1,200. The door might need to be replaced, it the damage cannot be repaired. Then you're looking at more $$$. It is time to file a claim with your insurance company.

Yeah PDR we're talking about door dings, thats full bod repair, new door skin and paint blended down the whole side. $1,500-$2,500...

ooo... possible entire new door, depending inner brace is not bend and window track issue and your bottom chrome door molding and sill molding also need replacement. I would est roughly $3k or more.

Gotta agree with droopy on this one--gonna be very expensive--and the biggest challenge for the body shop will be matching the Lexus paint. Some of the "pearl" colors just can't be spot-painted or matched and the entire car must be repainted. Sucks.
