This recent Toyota Prius Collision Repair by Turk’s in Minooka was performed due to the vehicle running over scrap and debri on the roadway. Unfortunately scrap trucks that haul old sheet metal and metal parts often have pieces that fall off their trucks and subsequently vehicles run over them. While much of the time the loose scrap only causes flat tires or blow-outs, some of this scrap can be quite large.
This Toyota Prius collision repair was needed after the car drove over scrap metal.
In this case what the Toyota Prius drove over was a very large semi truck drum brake shoe. It did extensive damage thereby requiring Toyota Prius Collision Repair primarily to the front end and undercarriage of the car.
