My wife's new ES-350 seems to have an abnormally long and low overhand. This causes the underside to scrape a curb as the car is curved accurately into a parallel parking spot. I say "abnormally long and low" because neither of us has ever had this much problem with any other car.
The "parking assist" normally alarms just as or slightly after contact. In other words, the "parking assist" is helpful only when objects are approached straight on.
The question is: how do others deal with the underside scrapes? How does touch up paint work out? How much does a repainting of the panel cost, etc?
Our current plan is to have the section repainted after we learn to avoid banging into curbs.
