2020 Hyundai Elantra- Collision/Insurance work

 This customer brought in his 2020 Hyundai Elantra to get collision damaged repaired through his insurance. We replaced several things on the vehicle such as, a new trunk lid, the lock for the trunk, the taillights, rear bumper, and the reinforcement bar under the rear bumper to name a few. We worked with this customers insurance in order to get his car back to original condition as quick as possible. Because his vehicle was in a collision the customer requested to have us set up the vehicle on a Measurement Frame machine to make sure the replaced parts fit like a glove!

DELAMINATING PAINT & MICROCHECK EXAMPLE   

These two pictures are good examples of delaminating paint and microcheck on the same body panel. This is caused by the heating and cooling of the cars surface. This tends to happen more on darker colored cars! When the surface is exposed to the sun all day the paint expands. At night when the surface cools down it will return to the original condition. This causes the paint to have tiny "check marks" only being able to notice when inspecting paint close enough! 

1994 Honda Civic Revamp

This customer came in looking to paint their aftermarket parts that they installed to match their original paint job titled "Frost White".  This customer wanted to paint over the moldings, door handles and mirrors. Choosing to paint said parts the same color as the car was a bold move worth making!

Hyundai Elantra vs Fence

We see at least a couple of cars each year that have gone through a fence. The damage is not usually as severe as when vehicles hit each other but the damage covers more area. These accidents happen when drivers swerve to avoid something, hit the gas instead of the brake, unattended cars not set to park, etc. In this case we replaced the bumper, headlights, fog light, fender liners, air intake duct that was mounted in the corner of the bumper. We also repaired and repainted the hood.

2005 Honda Civic Si Revamp

A young driver and his parents wanted his first car to be something a little special. So they took a nice Honda Civic Si that was looking a little old and made it look new. The Honda Championship White paint is a nice touch and a tribute to Honda's first Formula 1 victory in 1960.

Mazda 3 Bumper Repair

Mazda 3 bumper was crushed in a parking lot incident. We replace the bumper and a broken reflector. This Mazda has a premium, 3-stage paint that is hard to match. Even in the "before" photos you can see that the original bumper color does not exactly match the rest of the car. In these situations we recommend blending (or fading) paint onto the adjacent panels to better hide this color mis-match. Or, as this customer chose, you can keep cost lower if you are able to tolerate a slight color difference.

Before:

Note original slight color mis-match on rear bumper cover at the time the customer dropped off the vehicle. Bumpers can often be a slightly different color than the rest of the car due to differences in plastic vs. metal parts. This difference is even greater on 3-stage (also called "tri-stage" or "candy") paints.
