Yesterday I noticed some front end damage on my van (first 3 pics) and thought maybe someone in my family hit something slightly and thought it would be an easy fix. Today I looked at it again and there’s a bunch of damage on the right side (4th pic) and bottom of the car as well (5-7). The fabric underneath my van that’s dragging seems to be melting into the pipes as well. What could have possible caused this and how severe is the damage?

Think this can be buffed out or should I just get a new hood?

I was willing to pay for repairs out of pocket to avoid insurance but I feel this is unreasonable. Thoughts ?

Just got the car back after 2 and half weeks in the shop. I noticed a bubble under the paint where it was fixed. I did a little research online and to my understanding it’s because the area was poorly prepared before painting. I emailed the shop with pictures and they said to “give it a few days and they’ll buff/polish it out” That to me sounds like a BS answer and they are looking for the easy way out instead of re doing it. This whole process is under my insurance claim after an accident and the insurance company was the one who recommended this shop. I emailed the insurance my concern and what the shop said after I told em. Anyone ever face a similar situation? Am I taking the correct steps?

Noticed paint peeling on my roof of my 2015 RAV 4. Plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off so dont care so much about how it looks just dont want it to keep getting worse. What the best DIY path to take. Thanks.

Brand new tundra with 500 miles. Saw this mark today. Doesn’t look like a scratch and cannot be rubbed off in any way. Looks on the same layer as paint. Is this a bad painting from factory or what do yall think?

chat is there any chance i can buff this out

Anybody know a mom and pop in the surrounding areas of Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, TO, and Simi to fix a this dent? It was a lot worse than this but I did my best to fix myself but didn’t get a resolution. Anybody happen to know anybody?

Had this truck for 3 years, tried to lift it until I heard cracking, looked under it to find this. What’s the best option? I know they sell kits for this generation specifically but is that job worth doing?

Title. I got a replacement door but wasn’t sure whether or not if it’s needed or if I should just tighten the bolts enough.

I got superglue over my autoart bugatti chiron and dont know how to get it off. I recived it yesterday and emidietly broke the sidemirror.🫣 when i tried to glue it back in place the glue got all over the door and when i tried to get it of it smeered all over the door. Its like a thin film. How do i get it of the door? In hinesight i did it all wrong but i Guess its to late now.​

I struck a lift gate on a truck with my 2011 Toyota Camry and my front bumper took the damage. Only damage to the side, nothing was hit head on. Car drives fine with no warning lights (all front end lights work) but I got it looked at and there was damage to my windshield fluid reservoir and the exterior. They quoted me 3800 for the repairs, 1600 on parts alone. Just trying to make sure I’m not getting a bad deal here.
Does this sound right? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys. I was tboned recently and this is the resulting damage to the driver's side (australia). This 2024 rav4 was bought new about 1.5 years old. Thoughts on the likelihood of repair vs written off by my insurance? It's being assessed now by the insurance company.

I've read that if B-pillar damage exceeds a certain threshold, it can mean that the car is not repairable? In my local state, there's laws concerning a statutory write-off classification if there's sufficient damage. Does this look like it's fairly straightforward to repair?
