That windshield tells you this F-150 took a serious hit.

In the before photo, you can see the shattered windshield along with damage on the driver's side and mirror area. The after photo shows the same F-150 back outside Shadow Lake Collision Papillion.

🚙 A before-and-after pair makes the change easy to see. What it cannot show is everything the repair team has to evaluate between those two moments.

Collision damage can involve more than the first damaged area you notice. That is why the repair plan is built around the vehicle itself and the OEM procedures tied to it.

Swipe between the two photos and take a closer look.

🧽 Smooth paint starts with dusty work.

Before refinishing, the repaired area needs to be sanded and prepared so the next material has the surface it needs.

The technician works around edges, body lines, and nearby masked areas a little at a time. Rushing this step can show up later in the finish.

For a shop that has served Papillion since 2008, this quiet prep work is part of the standard behind every finished panel.

The screen keeps the information close. The technician still has to compare it with the vehicle in front of him.

Photos, repair notes, parts information, and documentation help the team keep track of what has been found and what still needs attention.

Shadow Lake Collision Papillion uses a paperless workflow and checks vehicles at several points during the repair process.

The tablet helps organize the details. The judgment still happens in the shop.

👋 Eric has been part of the collision repair business for most of his life.

He founded Shadow Lake Collision in Papillion in 2008 after years of hands-on shop work, management, and ownership experience.

His goal has stayed simple: repair vehicles correctly and give customers a service experience they can feel good about.

That means answering questions, explaining the process, and making time for a personal handoff when the vehicle is ready.

For Eric, the repair matters. So does the way people are treated along the way.

Those chains and clamps each have a job.

Structural damage can move parts of a vehicle away from where the manufacturer intended them to sit. The repair begins by measuring what moved and planning how to bring it back into position.

Shadow Lake Collision Papillion uses Chief frame and measuring equipment for structural collision repair.

The equipment supplies the force. The measurements guide the repair.

🎨 The paint booth controls the air. The painter controls the finish.

Shadow Lake Collision Papillion has 2 USI downdraft heated paint booths. They help manage airflow and the refinishing environment while the technician applies the required materials.

Before that happens, the vehicle still needs careful masking, surface preparation, and one more check.

Then the painter steps in.

🔨 Metal repair can move a panel a few millimeters at a time.

The technician studies the damaged area, controls the pull, and checks the panel again before making the next adjustment.

Shadow Lake Collision uses glue pulling when it is appropriate for the repair. This method can help technicians work the damaged metal while preserving more of the original panel.
Small movements add up.
