Oooh not a post I want to do but...
I had my lucid for all of 2 months and a guy ran a very late red light and hit the back of my car. Then he took off. But he left his bumper behind.. And his license plate. Anyone know of a good body shop that knows how to fix Lucid. I suspect my insurance might not let me take it to lucid in Millbrae.

The guy who hit me eventually returned half an hour later. Probably realized he left his plates behind. I'm glad the police was there as well. The guy has no insurance. He said he just got his car out of repo. (my eyes are rolling at this point).

There are only a few certified Lucid body shops; Millbrae isn’t a body shop. You can find them listed on Lucid’s website under Locations.

Your insurance does not have a choice but to allow you to use whatever body shop you would like, by CA law, even if they may fight you on it. There are lots of threads about this.

I recommend Brooks

Sorry you’re having to deal with this @valentino. Looks like Lucid has three “approved” autobody repair providers listed for the SF Bay Area. Link to the approved autobody repair shops is here. Of the ones listed, I know Chilton’s is reputable. A few of the legacy luxury auto dealers in the SF Bay Area use Chilton as their preferred auto body collision repair center. Although not listed as an approved provider, Karry’s Collision Ctr. in SF has been my go-to auto repair center for almost 10 yrs. Here’s the link to their Yelp page (ask for Kai). Good luck!

I went with chilton mainly because I'm in the peninsula and talking to them I felt pretty comfortable that they know what they are talking about. They have one person dedicated to Lucids. Whether that makes a difference, we'll see. These are the times when I'm glad I leased instead of purchased.

I just wanted to do an update on this from April. It's now the end of July and I am STILL WAITING for my car to be fixed. I took it to Chilton in the Peninsula since they are one of the few authorized lucid auto body shop and not far from my home. It's been frustrating. Every month they revise their estimate by another month. They ordered the wrong parts. 2 weeks ago was the first real substantial update they gave me saying it's going to paint soon so they expect to be done before the end of July. Well now they say they need a tool that they need to get from lucid. I'm not sure why if they were about to paint. They also said nothing to me about that until I called them today for an update. I've logged in through the app and check my Samsung tracker in the car, it hasn't even moved so they clearly haven't even tested the car yet. So frustrating. It's been over 4 months. Every lease payment I make makes me Hulk rage.
