Auto Collision Repair Explained
Although the name may seem pretty self explanatory, when repairing a vehicle after an accident, there is much more to a proper auto collision repair process. First, it should start long before your car is being worked on - it should start the moment you call in the accident. Arranging for a tow service, liaising with your insurance, assisting with car rentals; these are all things your chosen auto collision repair shop should be helping you with. Once you and your car have safely arrived at the shop, the process starts with an extensive damage assessment, which can sometimes mean vehicle disassembly to find any hidden damage early on. Structural and body repairs are the next step of the process, followed by paint and refinish. Even then the process is not complete, as expert QAs need to run quality inspections to make sure your vehicle is returned to you in perfect shape.
