When I came on board as Allston Collision Center’s business partner I conceived an idea that a body shop could be a place where employees and customers alike trusted each other to produce a body of work to be proud of.  I believe this has been accomplished many times over at Allston Collision Center, but this Lexus was especially satisfying.

We take pride in our employees and we want to provide the training it takes to work in a place like Allston Collision Center where customer service and beautiful work is a daily occurrence.

An example is the 2012 Lexus featured here.  The Lexus shown had a lot of dings and dents on its entire body.  It took quite a bit of work to restore it so it could receive a paint job worthy of a new Lexus.  The photo shows the vehicle with a refurbished body and a complete, full vehicle, paint job.  Amazing!

We took a photo of Jose, one of Allston Collision Center’s employees next to the car because it was his first time painting an entire car.  We couldn’t be any prouder of Jose.  He is an individual who wanted to learn and under the tutelage of another skilled professional, Tommy, was able to rise to the occasion.

The vehicle left our shop gleaming and we were satisfied with another job out the door with our stamp of approval on it.

The Lexus LS460 shown here was hit so hard.  We were glad that its owner was not hurt.  As you can see this was a rear hit that required us to remove the entire back end of the vehicle.  This vehicle needed the sheet metal pulled to get the lines back.  However, before the pull, we remove the rear glass so it doesn’t break during the pulling process.  Next our technicians have to pre-fit all the sheet metal before it is welded to make sure the fit will be aligned and tight.  Once all the sheet metal is aligned our technician begins the spot welding process and then body repairs start.  After the body repairs are complete the lengthy process of paint preparation begins.  This particular Lexus LS460 is a pearl white, 3-stage paint process.  The prep is quite time consuming but is so important to get a perfect finish.  The gentleman who owns this vehicle is a longtime customer of Allston Collision Center and we appreciate his trust in us.  Thank you David!

A Bird, a Silly Rabbit and a Strike!

Trailhawk:  Well I’m sure you have realized by now we aren’t talking about a bird!  This vehicle was hit while parked.  The owner of the vehicle arrived to find the passenger side buckled.  You can see the wave and scratches on the door in the photos.  Unfortunately Jeep did not have used parts for this vehicle.   We decided not to wait for availability because we could not guarantee if or when the parts would be available.  We make the decision to use new parts for this repair.  Allston Collision Center completed the repairs in two weeks – which made this an on time delivery.  May the hawk take flight!

VW Rabbit:  Don’t look down silly rabbit!   This is the classic story of looking away just for a moment.  This driver was distracted for an instant and ran into the vehicle in front of them.  It is unbelievable how much damage can be done in this kind of accident.  The damage for this vehicle was extensive:  bumper, hood, radiator support, grille, left fender, AC condenser, radiator and two headlights.  The vehicle was doing approximately 20 miles per hour and you can see the result of a low impact accident in the before photos.  Our timeline is three weeks and we met it.  Time for the Rabbit to roam again!

Lexus:  Not on Strike – A Deer Strike!  This is one of the scariest accidents to be in.  A Deer is a powerful animal that can total a car, even when you are driving slowly.  This is the kind of accident that can maim or even kill the animal, never mind the driver.  The driver was able to skid and stop but the damage is still pretty bad.  You can see in the before photo the hood is buckled, grille, headlight and bumper are all damaged.  Luckily the Lexus is very well made and protected the driver from more serious damage.  Again this was a low speed impact.  Allston Collision Center indicated two weeks to fix this vehicle and we came in under the timeline.    The Deer survived and ran off – happy ending for all!

Allston Collision Center, Inc. takes great pride in our work and it’s always great to deliver on time and with no animals being hurt. 🙂
