2016 GMC Terrain hard front end hit finished product!

03/14/2019

This is a little bit bigger repair. 2016 GMC Terrain hit hard in the front. This impact swayed the front end over and we had to replace the right lower inner rail and radiator support. We also had to replace the front sheet metal and repair many other inner structure components.

Hiya everyone! I know its been awhile since I have posted any repair statuses, so here is a 2010 Chevy Camaro we recently got in. It is hit hard in the front and has structural damage to the radiator support. Keep an eye out for photos of the finished product coming soon!
