Default Bad Christmas for my Lexus!

I was enjoying Christmas eve with the family, went outside, and found out my car had been hit! Guy left and now I'm left with a damaged car.

It sucks, but at this point I just want my car fixed as close to normal as possible. Currently I'm debating between Longo Lexus Collision Center or Platinum VIP. Any comments on either one of these places? Thanks in advance!

That's sucks bro, hope things work out man... IDK what I would do in a situation like this... I'd probably find all my military buddies and try to hunt the guy/girl down for some *** whooping (or jail time).

Wow sorry to see that... I'd be raging if that was me. Someone definetly deserves a butt whooping for just leaving. GL with the fix.

Damn, that's harsh! Glad to hear you're taking this well though. I would not recommend going to the Longo Collision Center - had a bad experience with them installing a windshield on my IS.

Dang that's some serious damage. Sorry to hear and a terrible way to start the holidays. Whoever hit your car will get theirs, what goes around comes around. Karma. Good luck with the repairs.

Sorry to hear about the damage. I don't have any experience with those shops, but I recommend using Yelp and other review sites online to see what else body shops you have around the area.
