Bumper Scrapes--We Hate Them Too!

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!

Honda CR-V Auto Body Repairs

The damage to this CR-V was not covered by the owner's insurance. So we worked with the owner to fix all the safety issues and make the car look presentable again. To keep repairs within budget, the owner asked not to fix a dent on the fender. We agreed to leave the dent because it did not pose a safety issue.

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.
