What should I expect during the auto body repair process?

If you have been involved in an accident or your car has suffered some damage, you might need to take it to an auto body repair

shop.

The auto body repair process can be a little overwhelming, especially if you've never gone through it before. In this article, we

will discuss what you should expect during the auto body repair process.

Assessment of the Damage

The first step in the auto body repair process is an assessment of the damage. Our technician will examine the vehicle to determine the extent of the damage and provide an estimate for the repairs.

We use computerized diagnostic equipment to assess the damage and determine the best course of action. The estimate

will include the cost of parts and labor and the estimated time it will take to complete the repairs.

Insurance Inspection

If you are filing a claim with your insurance company, they will likely send an inspector to assess the damage and determine the

cost of repairs. At DACC, we will work with the insurance company to ensure that the repairs are covered under your policy.

Disassembly and Repair

Once the estimate has been approved and any necessary insurance paperwork has been completed, the repair process can

begin. Our technician will begin by disassembling the damaged areas of the car to assess the damage more thoroughly. They will then repair or replace any damaged parts, such as the bumper, fender, or door. If there is any damage to the frame or the body of

the car, our technician will use specialized equipment to straighten it out.

Painting and Refinishing

After the repairs are complete, our technician will prepare the car for painting. This involves sanding down any rough spots and

filling in any dents or scratches. They will then apply a primer coat to ensure that the paint adheres properly. The final step is to

apply the base coat and clear coat to give the car a smooth, glossy finish.

Reassembly and Quality Control

Once the painting is complete, our technician will reassemble any parts that were removed during the repair process. They will test the car's systems, such as the brakes and the electrical system, to ensure that everything is working properly. The final step is a quality control check to ensure that the repairs have been completed to the highest standards.

Final Inspection and Delivery

After the quality control check, we will conduct a final inspection of the car to ensure that it is in perfect working order. We will also clean the car, so it looks as good as new. Once the final inspection is complete, the car is ready for delivery to the

customer.
