This Camry came in after a front-end collision that damaged the bumper, the front fender and the headlight on the same side. The owner filed a claim with their own insurance company and asked us to work with the adjuster.
What we found
Our bumper-to-bumper assessment turned up a cracked bumper cover, broken headlight mounting tabs, and a fender pushed back far enough to rub the door when it opened. The headlight lens itself was scuffed, and its mounting points were broken.
What we did
We sent the estimate to the insurance company and advocated for factory parts for the bumper cover and headlight rather than aftermarket ones. The fender was repaired and realigned so the door opens cleanly again, and the bumper brackets were replaced so the new cover lines up with the hood and fender.
The bumper, fender and surrounding panels were then painted and blended so the gray matches across the front of the car, and the new headlight was aimed before the car went back out on the road.
The result
The Camry left with a front end that lines up, a door that opens without rubbing, and paint you can’t tell apart from the factory finish.
