Hey ClubLexus members,
So I brought my car to the shop a few days ago to do alignment and have my brake changed. Everything was fine until I discovered that my fender was damaged. I'm not really sure what happened, but i'm thinking that the damage was caused by their tools when they were working on my brakes. I will bring my car back to the shop and explain to them about the situation. Just in case the shop won't fix it, what can I do to fix the damage? Can I just use touch up paint as a quick fix?

That's was caused by applying pressure in the fender up and mostly outwards. If you are lowered with spacers maybe you hit a bump and smashed it in a turn, or the shop did it when lowering the car to the ground. If there is rust/ corrosion on the bare metal I'd say you probably did it and didn't notice it until after you picked the car up from the shop. I always do a walk around when I pick my car up from a shop, but I also do a walk around almost daily.
