$ Multi-Million 1962 Maserati Wreck

Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day had been the last surviving example of only 3 original Maserati Tipo 151s custom built to race at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. This car competed again in 1963 and 1964. It was sold in 2006 for a record 1.85 million Swiss Francs (US $2 million+.) In 2012 it was entered in the Goodwood Festival of Speed. You can see in the photos and videos what happened.

2001 Honda Accord Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Honda Accord.  This Honda's paint was peeling like crazy when it came to our shop!  The car's original paint had failed years ago, leaving the surface looking white, and flaky. We commonly repair this exact problem on cars of this ones era, especially Hondas! We begin by sanding off all of the old "Delaminating" paint, smoothing it down to an even paintable surface.  Once sanding is completed, all of the windows, lights and trim are masked to avoid getting overspray on them, and we applied a primer sealer. Finally it was ready for its new coat of Base Coat / Clear Coat paint!

Totalled 2001 Honda Accord.

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2001 Honda Accord. This poor sedan was the victim of a forceful utility vehicle. It was rear-ended and pushed into an intersection causing an incredible amount of damage to the Accord! All insurance information was exchanged by both parties. However the owner of the Honda could not make contact with anybody at the other party's insurance company! He came to us for help. We got in contact with the appropriate people and immediately got him into a rental vehicle so this unsafe car would be off public roads. The damage is so severe that we expect it will be written off as a total loss. We can help solve many issues between you and an insurance company, don't hesitate to stop by our shop and get our help!
