Happy New Year. Over the xmas holidays, I backed up and slightly hit a tree which cracked my rear headlight cover and nice little scratch on my bumber. Should i get it fix at the dealership or take it somewhere else? I have a 2016 nissan maxima.

Yes. A 2016 Nissan Maxima can be fixed at either place.

I've always (woops, except one) had good results as dealer body shops. Check with your friends for their suggestions too. There are many dang good non-dealer shops around too.

DC_Dude

Thanks! Would you suggest I go to the dealership or to a non dealership shop?

You can probably buy the light housing and just replace that yourself. As far as the scratch, is it worth the $600 you may have to pay to get them to fix that too? You'd be surprised what a bit of touchup applied correctly can do. You can also get spray bombs with the color code of your car, tape everything off, then lay several even coats into the scratch. Once the tape is off you'll never know the difference at a glance.

You should also provide some pictures so we can make fun (J/K), I mean give you better advice...

Doesn't look that bad, in fact, i can't even see the damage.

I finally got the headlight cover fix at a grand total of $400 (including labor).

How did you get this done for 400 bucks? Great outcome as I see it.

DC_Dude

Really? Yeah it was only 1 side and I had to pay for the cover which was like 300 and the labor was like 100.

Can you post damage picture again.
