Repair Process

Step 1 - Estimate Process Step 2 – Ins Approval Step 3 - Disassembly
Phase 1:  An initial estimate is given based on visible damage. Additional damage may be assessed after the car has been taken apart.
Phase 2: The initial estimate is turned over to your insurance agency. A price of repairs agreement is reached unless the vehicle is deemed ‘unrepairable’ or ‘totaled’. Once a price is settled upon, we can begin dis-assembly. Phase 3::  The vehicle is taken apart and any additional damage or structural damage is assessed. If significant damage is found, the insurance agency may need to be re-contacted for approval.
     
Step 4 – Order Parts Step 5 - Structure Repair Step 6 - Body Repair
Phase 4:  Order parts. We order required parts and make neccessary arrangements if special or manufacturer-only parts are needed. Once all parts arrive, the repair/rebuild process will commence.
Phase 5:  Structural repairs must be completed first. Once the frame of your car meets original manufacturing specifications we can proceed with the next phase of repair. Phase 6:  Time to repair the body. Our auto body restoration specialists match and align metal panels and the car begins to take shape. Moving on to paint.
Step 7 - Paint Step 8 - Reassembly Step 9 - Detailing
Phase 7: Raw auto panels are prepared for paint with primer and sealer. Computer-matched paint is applied and the final coats ensure long lasting rich color. Phase 8: Vehicle finishing pieces are applied and a full vehicular operations test is performed. This test includes road testing to ensure safe vehicle operations. The vehicle can now begin the final step before delivery. Phase 9: A complete auto detailing is performed to remove any dust or dirt that may have collected while your vehicle was being restored.
