Impact repair can involve visible body panels, hidden brackets, structural components, welds/adhesives, suspension mounting points, corrosion protection, scans, and calibration.
Visible damage, measurements, affected systems, part relationships and repair access.
Remove necessary trim/panels to expose hidden damage and confirm the repair scope.
Measure where appropriate before deciding whether correction or component replacement is needed.
Metal/plastic repair, structural corrections, replacement, welding, bonding and fastener procedures.
Restore substrates, seams, coatings, color, clearcoat and corrosion protection.
Post-repair scanning and required calibrations based on vehicle systems and repair operations.
The correct decision can depend on material type, crush/deformation, access, part availability, sectioning locations, heat restrictions, attachment method, OEM procedures, corrosion strategy, and system integration.
Doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods, decklids, bumpers and related trim may be repairable or replaceable depending on damage and material.
Rails, aprons, pillars, floors, reinforcement and other structural areas require measurement and procedure-based repair planning.
Component attachment method changes disassembly, repair access, replacement procedure, corrosion protection and labor.
Fasteners, clips, adhesives, labels, restraints and other items may be required because of procedure, damage or disassembly.
The premium intake separates drivable from non-drivable vehicles and captures current location, claim status, airbags, wheel/tire damage, fluid loss, and damage area before the shop calls back.
Hidden damage discovered after disassembly can change parts, operations, procedures, scans, calibrations, and repair time.
