I have found toyota axio 2007 which has all its services done at Toyota Lanka. Im planing to buy it since the car look in good shape. Before buying it i thought of taking it to Toyota Lanka to get a inspection report. So when i take the car to them would the verify the records with their history and also confirm the ODO reading is genuine by cross checking with their records?

hi friends, I'm new to this forum and wish to get some advices from you all. I'm using a toyota allion 260, m.y 2013, wine red. I had a very unfortunate accident just in front of my house. I was waiting to reverse my car into the garage and the car next door came and hit mine since I had parked my car just in front of his gate and he reversed the car towards the road from his garden. I was tuning up my radio and didn't notice this man is reversing out and I don't know how did this man reverse the care without seeing any of of the mirrors. However he came and hit the rear door (driving seat side) of my car and got damaged slightly in three places. I showed this to one of my best baas and he advised me the best option is to replace the door with a new one as, doesn't matter how clever you repair it, but you can never get it 100% back to the original condition since this door has a very sophisticated shapes and it's not possible to repair the dents and get that shape back to the original condition. So I decided to replace the door. He asked me to buy a door and said he'll do the paint so that none can find out it has been replaced. Now I'm thinking of getting this done by Toyota itself, I have the insurance. Does any of you have experience of paint works in Toyota ? When they do painting, do they only care only about the color code? or do they match the color with the FADED color in the other areas of the body of the car since my car is about 3 years old by now and the color has faded out and it doesn't have the original shine or the thickness. If they just match the color code and paint, only the door will look like very new and it'll be highlighted that the door has recently been painted. What experience do you guys have? What would you suggest? This is my first car and I have no any previous experience like this. I'll be very thankful for any advices, suggestions.. Thanks
