North Dakota can be a wild and beautiful place full of natural wonders. It’s part of what makes it such a special place to live with majestic lakes, endless prairies, and magnificent mountains. It’s home to some impressive wildlife as well, as one of the customers at our Grand Forks auto body repair shop can attest.
He brought in his GMC pickup truck with a mangled front end that looked like it had met head on with a tree, but he informed us that it was in fact a deer that caused all this damage to front end of his pickup truck. This was not your average deer, but these are the things you come to expect in a place like North Dakota, which has more than a few large animals that occasionally find their way onto the interstate.
Like New Again
As you can see from the picture up top, the truck was in a bad way. Apparently, the driver was on the interstate cruising when the deer jumped into his path. He wasn’t able to avoid it and hit it head on. Luckily, the driver was not seriously injured. His truck’s fate was up in the air, but the service experts here at Rydell knew they had what it takes to restore it to its previous glory.
They set to work assessing how extensive the damage to the front end was, and it was serious. It would take more than cosmetic adjustments to get this GMC truck back on the road. They started with the serious stuff by installing a new radiator and cooling support assembly so the truck could run properly.
Then came the facelift. They replaced the right front headlamps, the front grille, front bumper assembly, and even the bug deflectors, which are a driver in North Dakota’s best friend in the summer. It was a team effort, but as you can see in the picture below, everything worked out.
We’re happy to report that this GMC truck was seen happily cruising the interstate once again and looking like nothing had ever happened. If you’re in need of serious auto body repair in Grand Forks, don’t settle for anything less than the best. Call Rydell today to schedule an appointment at 701-772-7211.
