Scraped Bumper Repair & Paint

The bumper on this Honda CR-V was scraped. We disassembled the bumper, repaired the scrapes and restored the factory paint. The customer chose to also replace broken fog lights at the same time because most of the installation labor was already included in the disassembly of the bumper. It saved them about $100.

Auto Body Repairs on Lexus with 3-Stage Pearl Paint

A brand new Lexus ES300h came to us for collision repairs. We replaced the hood, bumper, headlamps, radiator, A/C condenser, cooling fan, collision avoidance sensor and damaged structural components. The car has a beautiful 3-stage "candy" paint job (also called tri-coat paint.) These type paints look dramatic because 3 different paint processes are used to add depth, shimmer and highlights. The extra paint steps also mean that the paint is much more difficult to match and takes a very skilled painter.

Brand New Toyota RAV4 Collision Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2015 Toyota RAV4 that was in a significant rear end collision. In addition to the obvious damage, there were ripples in the quarter panel a distance from the impact dent, indicating likely unibody frame damage. We re-aligned the frame, replaced the quarter panel, tailgate, bumper, taillight and many related parts. Then we repainted with original factory paint. The work is covered by our lifetime warranty. Allstate Insurance paid for the repairs.

Ferrari California vs Bus

It has been far too long since we've posted a Wreck of the Day. So today we are making up for the lapse. Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day  is a 2014 Ferrari California.

Astonishingly, everyone survived with only minor injuries. 

The accident took hours to clear and caused major traffic delays in the city of Ajman, United Arab Emirates. Police accuse the driver of excessive speed and reckless driving. First responders assumed the Ferrari passengers would have to be dead. Not only were they alive but not too seriously injured. It helped that the driver, a man in his 20's, had been able to slow before hitting the bus by plowing into 4 or 5 other cars (accounts vary.) Both Ferrari occupants went to the hospital and are expected to make full recoveries. 

Thanks to our good buddies across the bay at WreckedExotics.com for their regular doses of supercar mayhem. Thanks also to Carscoops.com, InAutoNews and Daljinder Nagra at AOL for additional details.
