This vehicle is Hyundai’s flagship full-size model.  This is the first time I have seen this car up close and it is modern and super sharp.  Hyundai released this vehicle in September 2016 with 2017 models.  The Genesis G90 shown here is a brand spanking new 2018 with under 1000 miles on it.

This Genesis was hit on a highway off-ramp.  Its owner walked away without a scratch – thank goodness.

We have shared the photos of the damage here.  These photos show the following work needed to be done: unibody damage, replace the trunk lid, rear body panel, and the driver’s side quarter panel.  The back window was cracked in the accident showing how hard this car was actually hit.  The exhaust, rear bumper, and driver’s tail light were all damaged.  The blind spot sensors were broken as well.

Refinish work starts at the driver’s rear door to the back and the passenger’s rear door to the back in a 3-stage pearl white.  The process includes an extra application which goes on top of the white paint.  The vehicle is then clear coated and it gives this pearl finish.  Absolutely beautiful color and when it hits the sun – amazing.

At this point, the vehicle has to be brought to the dealership to recalibrate blind spot sensors and do the 4 wheel alignment.  Allston Collision Center arranged for the delivery and pickup of the vehicle as the blind spot sensors can only be recalibrated on the dealership level.

I hope all of you agree in looking at the finished photos this Genesis G90 came out perfect.

Allston Collision Center has worked with this client on several occasions.  He let us know he was confident if Allston Collision Center’s team was fixing his car it would be back to original factory specs.  I believe we accomplished that and more.

This is the part of the job that is really rewarding.  It is wonderful to know our clients return knowing the team at Allston Collision Center will do everything possible to make each vehicle back to pre-accident condition.

Allston Collision Center recently had a flurry of brand new vehicles come to us and here is the before and after photo gallery.

2017 Hyundai Elantra Repair – Incident at a rotary!

The client came to Allston Collision Center and chose to have his insurance company look at his vehicle at our shop. I know I keep repeating myself, but 9 times out of 10 it is best to have us handle the negotiations up front with your insurance company.

The damage was located on the passenger side and the passenger side front. The biggest issue with this vehicle is that no dealership across the country had a bumper. This vehicle was so new the manufacturer did not yet have a stock of replacement parts. This was a waiting game but once the parts were available this was a quick turnaround.

2017 Ford Fusion Repair – Unfortunate parking lot incident and no one left a note!

This vehicle was a quick fix. It was dropped on Monday and returned on Friday. The metallic white was an easy match for our well trained technicians.

2016 Mercedes GLC 300 Repair – Parking garage mishap!

The damage was headlight to taillight and required all new parts. Unfortunately, the parts were, again, not readily available. This was not only a new vehicle, but a new model for Mercedes Benz. Once the parts became available, we tore this vehicle down, replaced all necessary parts, painted and returned it to the customer in one month’s time. Allston Collision Center missed the deadline on this by one week. Albeit the parts delay, we do still try to turn out a vehicle on time.

2016 Audi Q5 Repair – Yet another parking dilemma!

This vehicle required all new parts and had more damage than just the doors. Much of the damage is not visible if you can believe it. During the tear down of any vehicle it is not uncommon to find additional damage. In this case, Allston Collision Center removed both doors to properly identify all the damage.

This is a reoccurring theme in this blog but, again, another new vehicle, and a popular model, and not all parts are immediately available. However, once we have the parts, in hand, our technicians move forward with making sure everything fit properly. With this vehicle proper fit included putting doors on, removing them, and putting them on again a few times to make sure the fit is tight and right. When we achieve a proper fit the process moves quickly and we were ready to deliver in five weeks and on time.

2016 Mazda CX5 Repair – Hit while parked and the person left a note!

This 3-stage paint job requires real expertise. Whether you think it is blue or purple this new vehicle came out perfect. We did have delays on parts here too but we were able to deliver on time.

Some things to remember when buying a new vehicle… You know besides praying to the new vehicle gods that no one hits you and the birds keep their distance! No really, keep in mind if something does happen, parts can be tough to come by initially and patience will probably be helpful. Manufacturers often release a new vehicle to the public and then stock the replacements parts after. Another important thing to note is – should you be in an accident you want to use OEM parts. OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer and Allston Collision Center always negotiates for them on new vehicles while in warranty. This takes extra man-hours but we work with your insurance company to make sure you are covered.

In the long run the process is much easier when using a professional appraiser to negotiate on your behalf. Allston Collision Center is here to help you and we always guarantee our work for as long as you own your vehicle.
