Botched fender repair on my Model Y — need a body shop in NYC/Westchester that can make it right

[u/Henny750]

My Model Y got sideswiped on the passenger side (hit-and-run). I went the cheap route with a mobile body guy and the fender came out paint mismatch. Lesson learned. Photo attached.
Looking for a shop in the Bronx, Westchester, or Queens that can redo the fender and repaint so the color and finish match perfectly. It's a lease, so Tesla Approved is preferred. Anyone had good experiences, roughly what did you pay, and how long did it take?

Just go to your local Tesla collision center.

I’m not trying to be a dick, but you’re asking people nationwide to find a shop close to you that Google will do a better job of handling.

Thanks for your response but I’m asking the community as some shops and experiences are different and could be much better than others. Google reviews are not always accurate or truthful.

You do not need to bring this to a Tesla approved shop. My last shop George’s auto body briarcliff will do a great shop.

All really great body shops and take care of their tesla customers

Look at the left side of the fender and compare it to the door, the paint texture almost looks like a matte finish in comparison (poor reflection) and the panel alignment is pretty bad at that crease near the middle.

The good news is, you dont need a tesla approved shop for paint. A tesla paints the same as a civic, and they both paint the same as a Bentley. You just need a reputable paint and body shop. Check reviews. The bad news is, its going to cost you a good bit more than had you let a reputable shop fix it to begin with. What started most likely as a fender/bumper job, is now fender bumper door and maybe hood. And everything the mobile guy did has to be undid. If you want it perfect, it needs to be done correctly. Removing and installing bumper and all trim, mirror, handle etc prior to paint and then final sand/denib and polish. If youre okay with good, but not perfect, then there are shops for that too. Adk questions.
