Initial Planning Phase
Decide whether to use insurance or self-pay — our team answers any questions to help you choose. An appraiser inspects the damage and prepares the initial estimate. We collect your contact details and authorization, then schedule drop-off. Towing is available if you can't drive your car after the accident.
Body Repairs Phase
Approved parts are ordered, then our technicians remove damaged components and identify any hidden damage. We send regular text and email updates as work progresses, including prompt notice when parts availability or an insurance approval affects the timeline.
Prep & Painting Phase
The repaired area is cleaned, sanded, and prepared for painting. Your vehicle receives both color and clear coats to fully restore its finish.
Assembly & Delivery Phase
After painting, your vehicle returns for final assembly, a road test, and a thorough quality check. It is cleaned and readied for delivery, then we review the completed repair with you at pickup and address any remaining questions.
Clear help with the insurance process
From claim details and repair approvals to supplemental damage and rental-car coordination, our team helps you understand each step and keeps you informed when timing changes.
