I called Benz Collision Center and they came down to $475 for my repair after initially quoting over $600. Price seems fair but wanted to know how you liked their work? Is it perfect in your opinion? Thanks.

May I ask the name of the Tesla certified auto body shop in Glendale? I have a similar scratch on my rear hatch, maybe smaller. I've gotten quotes from $700 (they now claim they quoted me incorrectly--it's actually more) to $2400. Thanks.

I also have MSM and have a tiny scratch down to the metal on my rear hatch from hitting the garage. I've taken it to at least 5 different body shops/detailers who all have said the entire hatch needs to be repainted and touch up paint will look like a 3rd grader did it. Estimated between...

What color is your car/touch up paint? Same thing happened with my Y hatch hitting the garage door. I'm torn between paying $700+ to get the tiny chip professionally fixed -- I hate the idea of them taking the entire rear apart to repaint the hatch, i.e., emblem, rear lights, etc., trying touch...

I just saw that on another Y down the street and didn't know what it was. I'm thinking this is a perfect solution :)

Good to know. Thanks.

Do you know if he used touch up paint? All the body shops i've been to want to repaint the entire panel costing between $700-1500 for a tiny scrape--though it's deep.

The exact same thing happened to me in my parent's garage when I visited them. I have a nice gouge but only a few millimeters long. Tiny in fact. I've taken it now to 5 different body shops. 3 of which are Tesla certified. The estimates have ranged from $700-$1600. The last place I went to...
