GR86 GR86 Bumper Repair

[NunoHenriques]

Hey guys,

When I received my car the bumper was damaged (maybe when they were unloading the car from there truck) as such it has been due to be repaired by Toyota.
First they tried to “sold me” that a fast repair or smart repair (don’t remember what they called it) would be enough, but I told them I wanted it like new and since the scratch was too deep I didn’t believe a smart repair would do. They then agreed it would need to go to the body shop to get properly repaired. (Please see the screenshot)

When they mentioned body shop I thought there was a Toyota garage/shop specialized in these things.

I have a AirTag hidden on the car, when I looked at it this afternoon it was already “somewhere”, I don’t want to say it is shady because I don’t know the place, but it doesn’t look to have anything to do with Toyota?

Am I being too picky? Is this normal standard by dealerships? My only concern is that if the paint don’t match, in case it isn't indeed Toyota's body shop.

When I used to work for a main dealer we had a large bodyshop with all the modern equipment. But they did some awful work. So we sent our sales cars to 2 old guys who worked in a large shed up a muddy driveway. As did the nearest Merc dealer, and the nearest Rolls Royce service place., because their work was fantastic. Maybe something similar is happening to your car

Thanks! Yeah most probably it is just me panicking a little bit, as the whole experience has not been that good so far.
My first thought was "Are they trying to cut some corners to get it fixed"

The best bodywork I've had done has been by blokes in terrible sheds with terrible equipment, no website and a landline they don't answer!

Would a Toyota mudflap cover that?

This is in the front of the wheel, where's the mudflap goes behind the wheel. But even if it covered it wouldn't be reasonable leaving it like that

Manufacturers don’t have bodyshops, it’s almost always contracted out
