Tesla Motors Club
Somebody bumped into my car in the parking garage (looks like they forgot the car was in Drive, instead of Reverse). The damage is minimal, just a dent and some scrapes. I got quotes from Tesla and a very reputed local body shop (know them from before, they are also Tesla certified).
Tesla is proposing to swap out the bumper cover while the body shop will fix the dent and repaint the damaged areas. I'm a bit hesitant to go the swap route as there's a chance that the color may not exactly match (from some of the reports I've read here).
Am I paranoid? The cost is in the same ballpark (less labor to replace, but offset by the replacement cost vs more labor to fix and paint).
