The hit

Keisha Morrow’s XLT came in on a wrecker from a Mesa grocery lot. The bumper cover hid a crease into the aluminum bedside and a rail that measured 7 mm out. Geico’s DRP wanted a blend-and-pray. She chose the shop.

The work

Amina’s aluminum bay, dedicated tools, OEM bedside, corrosion kit, and a spectrophotomer match on Antimatter Blue — a color that punishes shortcuts. Hunter calibration on the rear camera and blind-spot after the gate went back on.

The hand-back

Eleven days, photo set, lifetime warranty in the glovebox. Her dealer asked who painted it. We took that as the review.
