1

Initial Planning Phase

Decide whether to use insurance or self-pay for your repair. Our team is available to answer any questions to help you decide. An appraiser will inspect the damage and prepare the initial estimate. We will collect your contact details and authorization before starting. Schedule your vehicle drop-off; towing is available if you cannot drive your car after the accident.

2

Body Repairs Phase

Approved parts required for the repair will be ordered. If self-paying, you can choose to order parts before repairs begin with our guidance. Technicians will remove damaged parts and identify any hidden damage. Additional repairs will be submitted to your insurance for approval if applicable. Once approved, parts are ordered and repairs continue until completion.

3

Prep & Painting Phase

The repaired area is cleaned, sanded, and prepared for painting. Your vehicle receives both color and clear coats to restore its finish.

4

Assembly & Delivery Phase

After painting, the vehicle returns to the technician for final assembly. A road test is conducted, and the vehicle is cleaned and readied for delivery. Insurance appraisers may inspect the completed repair if involved. We confirm all functions are proper, notify you when ready, and collect any deductible due. Upon pickup, we review the repair details with you.
