Car accidents are one of the most stressful events that can happen to a person. Not only is the event itself very frightening, but dealing with the aftermath can be extremely difficult. Car repair can be expensive, and getting insurance claims processed can be time-consuming and frustrating.
If you have been in an accident, or have suffered some sort of damage to your car, you may be wondering: what is the procedure for repairing a damaged vehicle with an auto body repair shop? Valley Collision’s simplified procedure is described in this blog.
Get An Estimate
When you take your car in for repair, we will give you an estimate of how much the repairs will cost. This estimate is based on the work that needs to be done and the parts that need to be replaced.
The estimate should include all of the costs associated with the repair, including labor and parts. We work very hard to be 100% transparent with our estimates, so you don’t get any surprises when you pick up your car. If you have any questions or concerns during the estimation process, we are happy to discuss them with you.
Disassembly
When a car is in an accident, it often needs to be disassembled for repair. This involves taking the car apart piece by piece so that each individual part can be examined and fixed as needed. The process of disassembly can be difficult and time-consuming, but it’s necessary to ensure that the car is fully repaired and safe to drive.
When necessary, disassembly allows us to take a look at each part of the car to find any hidden issues that may be lurking under the surface.
Car Repair
Our I-Car Gold Class Certified technicians will then get to work on carefully repairing the damaged parts of the car in a timely manner. We use specialized electronic systems that analyze the car so that it is repaired to factory standards and specifications. You can rest easy knowing that you are getting the best service possible.
Reassembly
Once the repairs are completed, our shop will reassemble the car. This includes putting on the new parts, painting it, and doing any other necessary work. We will also make sure that everything is working properly and that the car not only looks new, but also meets your personal expectations.
Inspection
Perhaps the most intensive part of the car repair procedure, our technicians will inspect the repaired car. This includes checking the brakes, steering, and other systems to make sure they are functioning properly.
If there are any issues, the car will not be allowed back on the road until they are fixed. This ensures that drivers are safe when they get behind the wheel and that their car is in good working condition.
