Drunk Driver sideswiped me only 600 miles in😢

Driving through Laguna Beach, CA yesterday and I was side swiped by a drunk driver. He swerved into me and then hit another car while trying to pull over. Tore off my fender flare and scraped up my fender and bumper. My heart aches.

That sucks. I assume you were unscathed and hope all goes well with repairs.

Yes! Should have led with that, everyone was unharmed

Some of the better shops will make that go away looking like new.
You will know of course but repairs and paint can work magic.

Good luck

I hope so! I’m thinking of taking it to one of the Toyota Dealership collision centers

Check around with others that have body work done. Maybe get a reference or two.
I have never had body work done in a dealership. Most of my dealership mechanical repair experiences have not been very good.
Seems the dealerships are always watching the $$$ not the quality of workmanship. IMO
A private shop has to earn their reputation.

Oh dang. I was also in Laguna with my 6th gen yesterday.
Are you going to use this opportunity to get a steel bumper and wider fender flares or are you planning to restore back to stock?
Also keep us updated since I'm curious how long it would take to get all the parts in.
