2011 Honda CR-V Accident Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2011 Honda CR-V. This little SUV came to our shop with parts dangling all over the place!  It had an unfortunate encounter with a fence the night before we began working on it! Sadly the front fender and trim moulding were unable to be revived by us, however we were able to obtain the exact same parts directly from Honda! We "refinished" or repainted the front right replacement fender, while blending paint onto the neighboring panels to avoid any obvious differences or "breaks" in color. Once all of the paintwork had been completed we re-assembled the car, washed the exterior and dusted off the dash, and finally returned it to its owner looking like new again!

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!

1989 Camry Resurrection

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1989 Toyota Camry. This car came to our shop as a dingy, faded, reddish four-door. This same exact car left our shop as a deep glossy metallic red sedan looking shiny and new once again! The owner decided to have us refinish the car in its original color with our Enamel paint grade, and perform our "basic prep" prior to paint. Our basic prep comes with all of the basic procedures to get paint onto your car! This includes a chemical wash, a light surface scuffing, masking of all unpainted parts such as windows, lights, and trim pieces, overall exterior painting in the cars original color, and a final bake in our oven to cure the new finish on for superior durability!

1994 Toyota Camry Re-Paint!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Toyota Camry. We love Camrys. We have painted thousands of them. This Toyota didn't have the typical peeling, flaky paint problem, however it did have a lot of faded non-glossy matte looking paint. We performed all of our "basic prep" and repaired a little imperfection in the rear bumper that was bugging this car's owner for years. The entire exterior was repainted with our Enamel paint using the original Toyota color code and finally returned to its thrilled owner looking shiny and new again!

1989 Toyota Corolla Overall Paintjob!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1989 Toyota Corolla.  This car came to our shop wearing a strange coat of paint and the body panels of its deceased brethren.  The car's owner is a Toyota mechanic and has been restoring this car over the course of a couple years.  This car started out red back in 1989 and as most older paints go, it started to fade and "Delaminate" it was refinished with sub-par paint material in previous years as a temporary solution to its failing original paint.  The owner decided it was time to make it shine like new again, and had us repaint the entire car the brightest glossiest white we could get, right out of our own color book!

2013 Honda Accord "First Ding"

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a brand new 2013 Honda Accord. This was a tragic incident, this car had less than 700 miles when it was brutally punched in the back by an angry SUV. Since the car is so new, all of the damaged parts that were replaced came directly from Honda. New factory original parts, and aftermarket parts will come in a strange looking black finish, naturally this car's owner preferred the cleaner "new car" look and not the mismatched black replacement panel look, so we painted the new panels to match the existing paint on the rest of the car's body!
