This customer brought their Regal to Almost Everything Autobody with a motto and budget in mind, "I just want a spit shine, not a show car." It was cheaper to replace the hood with a new aftermarket part than to repair the rusted one. The junkyard fenders we could fix. We painted the car with an affordable enamel. It left with a new look and some sweat, spit and a lot of elbow grease. The only tears were from the customer. . . tears of joy that is.

2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA INSURANCE REPAIR
This 2010 Tundra was brought to Almost Everything for repair on the right bed side. The customer had a personal car painted here and didn't know Almost Everything did insurance work. When he was told we work with all insurance companies!
He was more than happy to have the truck repaired here. The paint on our premier collision repair work carries a lifetime warranty.
We are not just a shop that paints whole cars. We do dealer warranty repair, insurance claims, bumper spot repairs and even restorations.
