paint repair

Collisions in the Aspen-Snowmass-Basalt area are quite common especially during the snow season. Any kind of accident can be stressful for the vehicle owner and it is even more stressful when you cannot find a reliable auto body repair service.
High Tone Auto Body is focused on getting you the best possible auto body repair service and we have served countless clients from Aspen, Snowmass, Carbondale, Basalt etc.
Recently a Honda CRV owner stopped by the shop. The vehicle was in a relatively small collision but the damage wasn’t that small.

Repaired tailgate, bumper and stoplights

Minor collision with not-so-minor damage

As you can see from the images here this Honda CRV had plenty of damage:

the roof had some minor bumps and scratches
the rear stop light needed replacement
rear bumper was broken on one side
the tailgate was deformed

Our technicians follow an industry-specific repair workflow to ensure proper auto body repair so the vehicle can be as safe and nice looking as before the collision.
Here, we started by removing the tailgate from the vehicle and our auto body specialists worked on restoring the geometry and look of the back side of the car. After the repairs on the door frame and roof we had the area repainted with a few coats of paint and clear coat.

Bumpers are composite parts, and in this particular case the plastic shielding took most of the impact and was broken. When the plastic shielding is broken we replace the entire bumper because bumpers act as safety buffer zones, protecting people in the vehicle, as well as people around the vehicle (bumpers are designed to cushion pedestrians in case if they are in a car accident). The new bumper also got a coat of paint and a coat of protective clear coat.

The rear stop lights on Honda CR-V’s are positioned relatively high, so the only damaged part was the outer glass. We replaced the rear stop light with a new one and did all the necessary wiring checking to make sure that everything works as it should.

While one team did work on the vehicle itself, another team did the needed body work and paint on the tailgate. With the tailgate repaired, our technicians assembled the Honda CR-V and the owner was quite pleased with the quality of work and timely repair.

Here we have a Toyota minivan from Alpine Valley Services sitting in our repair shop in Basalt with:

severely damaged roof
broken rear window
deformed rear door
broken rear lock
broken rear wiper
damaged interior trimming

As you can see from the images provided below the rear end of the car is quite damaged and all that caused by a fallen tree. While parking under trees comes somewhat naturally, we should be careful how and where we park. A quick glance at the tree could have saved this car from such a damage.
In order to fix this Toyota minivan and bring it back to its original state, we started by removing the rear window and the rear door. To protect the rest of the vehicle we covered the undamaged parts with protective sheets and performed the needed body work that covered straightening of the rear pillars and dent removal procedures to straighten the rear panels. All repairs were done by following factory measurements so that the restoration would meet original factory specifications.
After the finished metal work and needed wiring repairs the Toyota minivan got a few coats of matching paint on the damaged roof section and the rear pillars. The door was deformed so our technicians performed the needed body work to insure proper opening and closing. After the metal work was finished the door too was painted with matching paint.
After the paint job was completed, we mounted the new rear window according to factory specifications, mounted a new rear door lock (the original was damaged). We also replaced the rear wiper that was also broken. We connected the wiring for the wiper and plate lights and fine-tuned the door lock for proper locking.
Lastly, we repaired the interior trimming to bring this minivan back to its pre-damage state. The Alpine Valley Services representative was happy with the speed and quality of repair work we did on this Toyota minivan.
