The Collision Repair Process
After an accident, understanding what happens next can make the repair process less stressful. This page explains each step of our collision repair process—from initial inspection to final delivery—so you know what to expect at every stage.

Step 1
Vehicle Inspection & Estimate
We inspect visible damage and document repair needs to provide a written estimate based on the information available at the time.
What to Expect:
- Review of visible collision damage
- Initial repair estimate
- Explanation of next steps
This inspection helps determine repair scope and next steps, whether you’re paying out-of-pocket or working with insurance.
Step 2
Vehicle Drop-Off
Once repairs are scheduled, you can drop off your vehicle at an agreed time so work can begin.
What to Expect:
- Review of repair plan
- Vehicle check-in
- Discussion of timeline expectation
Drop-off timing is scheduled once the inspection is complete and repair planning is confirmed.


Step 3
Collision Repairs Begin
Approved structural and body repairs are completed using established repair procedures and manufacturer guidelines when applicable.
Step 4
Paint & Refinishing
After repairs are completed, refinishing is performed to restore repaired areas, focusing on proper preparation, color matching, and finish consistency.


Step 5
Reassembly & Quality Review
Repaired components are reassembled and reviewed to confirm proper fitment, safety considerations, and visual consistency.
Step 6
Vehicle Pickup
Once repairs are complete, your vehicle is ready for pickup. We review completed work and explain any applicable warranty information.
