Auto Body Repair
Auto Body Repair Process
Prepare Estimate
We thoroughly go through the damaged area of your vehicle and locate any related damage from the accident, collecting a list of parts needed and labor costs.
Insurance Inspection
We work directly with your insurance company to ensure the proper parts and time is allowed for a solid repair to be performed. At this point the insurance company decides if the repair job is feasible for repair or not.
Insurance Approval and Deductible (if applicable)
Once we receive the insurance company’s approval, you will bring in your insurance deductible amount plus your insurer’s check balance they send you for the auto body repair to be performed.
Disassembly
Once all paperwork is in order, we begin disassembly. If we find additional damages that were not visible at the time of inspection, we will request for an adjustment from your insurance company. Your insurance company may have to revisit the vehicle again for approval of additional work and parts if needed.
Order Parts
All parts within the estimate are ordered. Some parts may be special order due to the Original Equipment Manufacturer or Aftermarket Companies.
Repair Frame Work
We start repairing the frame or unibody part of your vehicle (if applicable) within the exact specs of the Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Sub-Assembly and Repair
Now all internal parts and external body parts begin to be applied back onto your vehicle ensuring all body lines are straight and fit properly. Any interior panels, electrical wiring or mechanical parts that have been damaged, either is replaced or repaired.
Paint Body and Parts
The original damaged area of your vehicle is prepared, sanded, primed, and sealed. We will blend the older parts of the vehicle with the new parts (as best as possible depending how old the vehicle is), so the eye can not easily distinguish old paint to the new paint.
Final Assembly
All the remaining parts are now installed back onto the vehicle, trims, lights, mirrors, auto glass etc. All MIL's (malfunction indicator lamps) or check engine lights are reset. Your vehicle goes through a final and tedious inspection for any inadequacies via functionality, safety, and appearance.
Detailing and Double Check
Auto body work is a very dusty business, so we will need to detail your vehicle before it is returned to you. We then again do a final inspection and fully road test your vehicle to ensure it is safe to return to you.
