Collision Repair on 2001 Toyota Avalon

A dented door and broken door handle make for a pretty tough driving experience. Having to crawl from the passenger seat to the driver's seat gets old the very first time you have to do it. Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Toyota Avalon. We replaced the damaged door, mirror and door handle and blended new factory paint onto the fender and rear door so that everything matched.

Body Repairs and Complete Paint Job on Rav4

A little 1997 RAV4 in great running condition (only 300,000 miles so far!) came in the delaminating (peeling) paint and dents in the right rear door and rear bumper and a bunch of dings. The lights in the bumper were broken too. The customer opted for an inexpensive upgrade. She has us paint the faded and splotchy original grey body cladding the same color as the rest of the vehicle. We replaced the door and got an aftermarket (reproduction) bumper and lights and fixed the dents. The paint is our enamel single stage technology with a 1 year warranty.

Doing It Right--Restoration of a 1995 Toyota Supra

The 1995 Toyota Supra is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It was hugely expensive and as a result, it was rare even when in production. Like the Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper and Nissan GT-R, it was a supercar from a company that otherwise made fairly pedestrian vehicles. The owner of this example brought it back to its original glory. He disassembled the car himself, had us fix all the dings, dents and rust, then had us paint it with our urethane 2-stage technology base coat-clear coat.

Brand New Car Body Damage

This 2015 Toyota Camry had less than 200 miles on the odometer when an accident happened. The fender, bumper, brackets and fender liner were damaged. When we disassembled the car we also found that the headlamp was broken and had to be replaced. Insurance covered the cost of the repairs and damaged parts were replaced with original Toyota parts.

Fender Bender

Today's fender bender is on a 2012 Toyota RAV4. The customer has insurance but wants to avoid an increase in her insurance premium so she's paying for repairs herself. To keep the costs low, she has chosen to keep the existing bumper, even though it has some minor damage. She also chose not to do a paint blend on her door. We've told her that the repairs won't be perfect and to expect the new paint to be slightly different than the older paint. In the end she was happy with her choices and the cost for the repair was affordable.
