Restoration Story: 2024 Cadillac XT5 Collision Repair in Calgary, Alberta

This 2024 Cadillac XT5 400 AWD arrived at the facility following a significant collision impacting the entire right side of the vehicle. The damage profile was complex, requiring both structural evaluation and meticulous cosmetic finishing to restore the luxury SUV to its showroom standards. Phase 1: Front-End Reconstruction The most severe damage was localized to the right front quadrant. The impact necessitated the complete removal of the right front fender, exposing the underlying apron and wheel house structures. Technicians performed a detailed inspection of the suspension components and mounting points to ensure no hidden geometry issues remained. A new OEM front fender was sourced and precision-aligned to ensure perfect gaps with the hood and A-pillar. Phase 2: Passenger Side Body Work The impact energy continued along the passenger flank, resulting in deep scoring and surface deformation on the front passenger door. To maintain the vehicle's structural integrity, the door was stripped of its handle, mirror, and trim for professional refinishing. Minor imperfections were corrected using advanced pull-and-fill techniques before the entire side was prepped for the paint booth. Phase 3: Paint and Final Assembly Matching Cadillac’s complex metallic finish required expert color blending. The new fender and repaired door were sprayed with multiple stages of base coat and a high-solid clear coat, ensuring a seamless transition into the rear door and hood. Following a bake cycle, the vehicle was reassembled with all-new trim pieces. The final result is a Cadillac XT5 that shows no trace of its previous accident, with factory-perfect lines and a flawless finish that protects both the vehicle's aesthetics and its future resale value.
