Collision Damage Assessment
Structural Inspection Process
Technicians begin with a detailed visual and digital inspection. They measure alignment points, check for hidden frame cracks, and document every affected component.
Estimation Methods
Using factory diagrams and repair manuals, estimators outline needed parts and labor. Clear itemized estimates help owners understand costs before work begins.
Paint and Refinishing Quality
Material Selection
High‑quality urethane paints and clearcoats provide gloss depth and environmental resistance. Color matching is done with calibrated tools.
Finishing Procedures
Multi‑step block sanding, controlled booth temperature, and careful curing ensure a finish that blends with the original panels.
Frame and Alignment Correction
Equipment Used
A calibrated frame rack and laser alignment system guide precise measurements. Pulling methods are chosen to minimize secondary damage.
Verification Steps
After correction, technicians recheck dimensions, suspension geometry, and wheel spacing to meet OEM specifications.
Customer Communication and Insurance
Claim Coordination
Staff manage documentation, photo evidence, and adjuster contact. This helps streamline approval and reduces delays for the owner.
Updates and Pickup
Regular SMS or email updates keep drivers informed. Final walkthroughs explain repairs and answer questions before vehicle release.
