Default Fender damage

Hi,

My wife left her car at a local shopping center. I was wondering what to expect as far as the cost is concerned. It looks like a left fender needs to be replaced (hood, light, front bumper, and door look ok). I got one estimate for $3,400; this is from my local shop that has great reviews (Thousand Oaks, CA). I am not sure whether this is reasonable though (2020 RX350).

Thank you

Check out paintedoemparts.com. Probably get an oem fender painted and shipped for less then half the price of the body shop. Watch a vid or 2 on popping the old one off and throwing the new one on. Boom

Unless you are planning on replacing the fender yourself, I would leave it to a body shop you trust. Will your insurance cover this?

You might try a paintless dent removal company if there is no damage to the paint. I can't tell for sure if the black lines are through the paint or not.
