Mazda 3 Bumper Repair

Mazda 3 with crushed bumper & 3-stage Soul Red paint before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
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.

2012 Honda Civic Collision Repair

2013 Honda Civic with auto body damage before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.

We replaced the fender and mirror and fixed the dent on the door. We often explain to customers what the difference is if we repair vs. replace a part. In this case, the customer was paying for repairs themselves. Replacing the fender resulted in a better quality repair and also cost less than trying to repair it. On the other hand, it was far less expensive to repair the door than to replace it. Feel free to ask us why you should choose one option over the other. We always provide honest recommendations from both a quality and cost perspective. If an option is both better quality and less expensive, that is the option we will always recommend.

Scraped Bumper Repair & Paint

Scraped bumper at Almost Everything Auto Body for repairs & repaint.

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

2019 Lexus ES300h before repairs at Almost Everything Auto Body.
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.

I always wanted one of these cars--the legendary, iconic Nissan 300ZX Turbo. A month after we completed a restoration and overall paint job on this car, the rear bumper got damaged in an accident. The bumper was replaced and we matched the paint to the rest of the car.

Bumper Scrapes--We Hate Them Too!

Scrape from parking lot hit & run before bumper repair at Almost Everything Auto Body.
Today's 2016 Ford Fusion Energi needed some bumper love after someone (let's call them "Inconsiderate Villain") scraped it in a parking lot and failed to leave a note. We helped the owner get her car looking good as new again. The cost was low enough that she decided not to involve her insurance company so she could avoid a rate increase!
