So a dude runs a red light and creams the rear driver side quarterpanel. pretty much from the drivers side fuel door back. You could actually see the whole back side of the tire.. Less than 1 year, less than 9k miles.

Turns out the faulty driver has less than stellar coverage (at least he has some).. So I need to have this car looked at and "fixed".. I'm afraid it'll be quite $$$, also, I'm not thinking of sending it any body shop. I want Toyota to look at it and determine whats it really gonna take and if at all fix it.

Does anyone have any recommendations on Southern Californian dealership bodyshop/repairs? I heard Power Irvine might be a good option, but I didn't like their sales guys.

I'm fine, but the TCH.. so sad.. When I looked at it, the rear driver side bumper was dragging, and there was a hissing sound.. sounded like it came from the batteries.. So I stayed quite a bit away from it.
