2004 Toyota Prius Bumper Replacement!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Toyota Prius. This gas hog came to our shop with an unsightly torn front bumper cover and a broken grille! Typically when a panel gets damaged such as this one there are a couple ways of going about repairs. The first option is a repair, using the existing parts (or what remains of them) and repairing them with different chemicals, fillers, etc. The second option is a bit more straight foreward, replacing the damaged part with a new or recycled one. In this particular case the bumper cover was torn so severely the cost of repairing the existing one easily outweighed the cost of an aftermarket replacement. We removed the damaged parts and disposed of them responsibly, checking for additional damage and notifying the car's owner if anything unfit to re-use was discovered, obtained an aftermarket bumper cover and lower grille piece. After painting everything to match we reassembled the car and returned it to its owner looking like new again!

2002 BMW 325xi Collision Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2002 BMW 325xi. This luxury compact sedan came to our shop looking like it had gotten into a fight with a wall and lost! Its hood had been tweaked, headlight was broken and its radiator support had been pushed in a bit. Since this was a notoriously expensive to fix BMW and insurance was not going to cover the damage, it was an "Out of Pocket" repair. We saved the owner as much money as we could, replacing parts only as absolutely necessary and fixing or repairing most of what was already there! When all said and done this BMW came out of our shop looking like that little mishap had never even happened!

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Color Change

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1964 Chevrolet El Camino. Unlike most of the cars that are featured on our page, this "Cruck" or Car-Truck came to our shop with what appeared to be a beautiful paint job. When we thoroughly inspected the car with the owner we did discover plenty of old, improper bodywork which was cracking and ruining the beautiful finish! This paint had been on this truck for nearly twenty years and the owner grew tired of the subtle red look, after we finished all of the body repairs we repainted the exterior with an aggressive bright orange for that old-school "High Performance Chevy" look!
