Dent on 1995 Thunderbird

A 1995 Ford Thunderbird is our Car of the Day. It was hit from an odd angle that caused a dent at the top corner of the quarter panel. The customer replaced the taillight himself before bringing the car to us (he wanted to have brake lights!) We repaired the dent, aligned the quarter panel and trunk and repainted with factory matched paint.

Pontiac Bonneville with Faded & Peeling Paint

Our Car of the Day is a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville that has paint peeling off the bumper and a badly faded hood. The problems with both parts are from a poor repair by another shop. It was obvious to us that the bumper had been replaced but it had not been cleaned and primed properly before being painted. So the new paint was falling off and exposing the plastic underneath. The hood was painted with an inferior paint that faded much faster than the rest of the car. We stripped the paint off the bumper, sanded the hood and repainted both with top quality Factory Paint.

Collision Repair on Toyota Avalon

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Toyota Avalon. This was a case where the shop advised the customer that it was probably more economical to buy another used car than to repair this one. But many people think this version of the Avalon is nicer that similar Lexuses and the engine has a well deserved reputation for durability. So the customer decided to repair his car instead of taking chances with a used car of unknown reliability and less luxury.

We replaced the hood, bumper, grill, radiator support, lights, hood latch, A/C condenser and radiator and repainted the front end with factory paint.

Minor Bumper Repair

Last week our ""Minor" Bumper Repair" featured a scary collision where damage was much worse than expected. This week's bumper is more common. And it really is a minor bumper repair. We fixed a dent and repainted the bumper with factory matched paint. It didn't cost much or take much time. Absolutely no hidden surprises.

"Minor" Bumper Damage

Be wary of hidden damage after a collision. This Honda was rear-ended. At first glance the damage seems fairly minor. There's a small dent in the bumper and it is hanging a little low. As we'll show you in the series of photos below, the plastic bumper cover flexed during the accident and is hiding sever damage to the frame and the floor of the car. The rear floor and body panels had to be replaced and the frame had to be straightened to get this car back to original condition.
