Since the particular can differ from one auto body shop to the next, below are some standard steps that can serve as a basic guideline for what you can anticipate while your vehicle goes through collision repairs.
The estimate. An inspection of the vehicle by an experienced estimator is typically what starts the collision repair process. After finishing the necessary paperwork and taking photos, the information goes to the customer and their insurance company.
Disassembly. In this next step, your insurer might make request a teardown of the car. The request is made to ensure all damages are documented with accuracy and to determine if repairs should proceed or not. If the customer and insurer provide authorization for collision repair, the shop can order the parts necessary.
Repairs. During the process of collision repair, technicians use electronic measuring systems to analyze the vehicle in order to restore it to factory specs. This is an essential step because it ensures the frame will remain structurally intact and sound. If necessary, wheel alignment and repairs to the suspension may be performed. Mechanical repairs are also completed with structural repairs.
Paint preparation. This is a critical step in refinishing for vehicle types. Our auto body technicians prepare all the exterior panels for repainting prior to priming and then sealing. This results in superior adhesion for the application of the top color and clear coating.
Reassembly. This entails returning detail pieces and moldings to the vehicle. In addition, an inspection is done of all the systems in the vehicle. When your car is in this stage of collision repair it means the process is almost complete.
Lastly, the vehicle gets a thorough wash, interior cleaning and body paint polishing. Along with the inspection, a technician test drives the vehicle to confirm that there aren’t any problems that could be related to the collision repair.
