I got rear ended in a minor fender bender in my pearl white M3 the other day, and I'm looking into finding the best place to get it fixed. The thing I'm most worried about is the matching of the pearl white paint on the repaired rear bumper. I have an option to go to a Tesla owned body shop in San Jose, which is about an hour from home or to go to a Tesla approved body shop with excellent Yelp reviews just down the street from my house. Do you think there is an advantage of going to one versus the other? Would the Tesla owned shop be more capable of matching the paint than the approved body shop? The Tesla owned shop told me that the pearl white is the only M3 that has some variance in the coloring. What are your thoughts?
Also, does anyone have experience getting their pearl white repairs to match at either a Tesla approved or owned body shop?
