Toyota Prius Bumper & Tailgate Repair

We fixed a dent in the tailgate, replaced the bumper and repaired the rear body on this 2013 Toyota Prius. A tricky element is the 3-stage pearl white paint. 3-stage paints achieve special shimmer and highlight effects by stacking translucent color layers on top of each other. Minor variations in color or thickness of a layer can result in poor color match. For this reason all good body shops will tell you that color matching on a 3-stage paint is difficult or impossible and that blending (or fading) paint onto the adjacent panels is required for the repair to look less noticeable. Even with blending, there can be differences between paint applied to plastic vs. metal. So most insurance companies will not cover blending for bumpers and you may notice that the bumper color does not exactly match the rest of the car.

Rear-ended Lexus Auto Body Repairs

Today's Lexus HS250h was rear ended. Interior photos show damage to parts inside the bumper cover. Often the outer, plastic bumper cover bounces back after an accident and it may look as if there is nothing wrong. But there is often serious damage to safety components that can only be seen after the cover is removed.

Just a Bumper!

Many customers come to us without insurance and wanting to keep costs to a minimum. In this case, a man bought a bumper himself but needed a shop to paint it for him. We understand and are happy to help in situations like this. All we did was paint his bumper with factory-matched paint. He plans to install it himself.

Rear Ended Camry with Bumper Damage

This Toyota Camry was hit from the rear and is our Car of the Day. We disassembled the bumper to check for hidden damage and managed the process with Travelers Insurance to ensure that everything was repaired properly.

Often in a minor accident, if people don't see a big dent they think there is no significant damage. As these photos show, there was little obvious damage at the impact point because the plastic bumper was able to flex then pop back into shape. However when you look around the edges the bumper no longer fits properly and inside the trunk there are broken fasteners. There could be even more damage underneath the panel. So it is a great idea to exchange insurance information even in the most minor accidents.
