Step 1: Damage Assessment & Estimate
Once your vehicle arrives at the body shop, a trained technician will conduct a full inspection. They’ll check for visible and hidden damage, take detailed notes, and prepare a written estimate. If you’re filing an insurance claim, this estimate is shared with your provider for approval.
Step 2: Disassembly for Hidden Damage
Sometimes the damage runs deeper than what’s visible from the outside. The body shop may disassemble parts of the car to check for hidden frame or structural issues. Catching these early helps avoid further problems after the repair.
Step 3: Repairing or Replacing Parts
Depending on the damage, technicians will either repair existing parts (like fixing dents or reshaping panels) or replace them with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or certified aftermarket parts. This step may also include frame straightening using laser technology to restore factory specs.
Step 4: Paint Matching and Refinishing
After repairs are completed, your car moves to the paint booth. Using computer-matched paint, technicians repaint the repaired areas and blend them seamlessly with the rest of the vehicle. The result? A flawless finish that looks just like it did before the accident.
Step 5: Reassembly and Quality Check
Once the paint is dry, the vehicle is reassembled. All parts, sensors, and safety systems are carefully reconnected. Then, a quality control inspection ensures everything is aligned, functioning properly, and ready for the road.
Step 6: Detailing and Delivery
Before you pick up your car, the shop will give it a full detail—cleaning the interior, polishing the exterior, and making sure it’s spotless. Then you’ll be notified that your vehicle is ready for pickup.
