While Your Car is in the Shop

While your car is in the shop, it will go through several processes including:

  • Disassembly
  • Repair / replacement of sheet metal and component body parts
  • Repair / replacement of all damaged mechanical parts
  • Paint surface preparation
  • Refinishing (painting)
  • Cleaning and final inspection

More than likely, your body shop will be contacting you with updates throughout the repair process.

In some cases, (depending on the insurance company and its procedures) your insurance carrier will maintain daily contact with the body shop and provide you with periodic updates.

The main point is, stay involved with the repair of your vehicle. It is in your best interest to know what portions of the car will be repaired, which parts will be replaced, and the source and type of the parts.
