Some one crashed into my car yesterday

I parked the car yesterday on the treet and someone in the big Tahoe backed up into my car. Front bumper, fender and front wheel is damaged. He left without leaving his information. There was a witness who saw what happed and wrote down the car license plate and left a note on my car. I hope the police will catch this person .

Front fender need to be replace.
Front bumper need repair or replace.
Front wheel need alignment.

Can some one recommend a good body shop in the Santa Clara bay area.

Thank you,

I agree w/ Jimbo.

I had similiar damage to the front of my 08 E550. FJ Newport Beach took really good care of my car.

I see we live in the same area, I'd recommend that you take it to the dealer. Beshoff or Smythe which ever is closer to you. Sorry to hear about that though and hope everything works out. Good thing there was a witness.....

Any chance you can share the license plates of this "hit-n-runner"? I live in the Bay too and would like to avoid such a Tahoe...

The good news is, now you could upgrade to the AMG front bumper if you wanted to.

Beshoff uses a body shop called Pan-American in San Jose that's off 101 and Tully by the Costco on Senter. I just did some work there last week and it came out great. Ask for Robert Tran and let him know that Tim with the E320 sent you.

Update: Also forgot to mention that Pan-American is a Mercedes certified body shop. I wouldn't have taken my car there otherwise.

Thanks you for your input

I hope it not going to be too much money to upgrade to the E55 front bumper.

Thank you

My insurance company called me and told me that they track down the other driver. He accepted liability for the accident. I will bring the car to Pan American to have it fix.

Thank you for your input.
