Pontiac Bonneville with Faded & Peeling Paint

Our Car of the Day is a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville that has paint peeling off the bumper and a badly faded hood. The problems with both parts are from a poor repair by another shop. It was obvious to us that the bumper had been replaced but it had not been cleaned and primed properly before being painted. So the new paint was falling off and exposing the plastic underneath. The hood was painted with an inferior paint that faded much faster than the rest of the car. We stripped the paint off the bumper, sanded the hood and repainted both with top quality Factory Paint.

Collision Repair on Toyota Avalon

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1996 Toyota Avalon. This was a case where the shop advised the customer that it was probably more economical to buy another used car than to repair this one. But many people think this version of the Avalon is nicer that similar Lexuses and the engine has a well deserved reputation for durability. So the customer decided to repair his car instead of taking chances with a used car of unknown reliability and less luxury.

We replaced the hood, bumper, grill, radiator support, lights, hood latch, A/C condenser and radiator and repainted the front end with factory paint.

1999 Honda Accord Paint Job

Our customer thought his faithful Honda deserved a little love after 15+ years of reliable service (plus repairs saved him $30K vs. buying a new Accord.) The owner replaced a door himself and asked us to paint the inside edges so they would match the outside. We reconditioned the delaminating (peeling) paint then refinished the whole car in our durable Urethane single-stage paint.

Toyota Sienna Collision Repair

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2004 Toyota Sienna with huge dents in the door and quarter panel plus dents & scrapes on the other sides. The customers chose to pay for repairs themselves. So we offered cost savings suggestions including painting the entire vehicle with an economical, Enamel + UV paint and masking the trim instead of removing it. If the trim parts are not removed there will be paint overspray on the edges of these parts. But this type compromise can save a lot of money and may make sense on an older vehicle.

Last week our ""Minor" Bumper Repair" featured a scary collision where damage was much worse than expected. This week's bumper is more common. And it really is a minor bumper repair. We fixed a dent and repainted the bumper with factory matched paint. It didn't cost much or take much time. Absolutely no hidden surprises.
