The Basics of a Post Collision Repair Inspection

Keep in mind that an auto body repair shop has a duty to get your car back to pre-accident condition. They do not have to make your car look brand new. During the process of a post collision repair inspection, a skilled technician will likely perform the following steps:

The vehicle is first evaluated to see if a post repair inspection is needed.
The insurance estimate will be compared to the actual work performed.
All repair gaps will be checked to see if the car lines up.
All paint surfaces are inspected with a paint thickness meter to ensure an even finish.
We look for repair shortcuts that can cause vehicle breakdown and jeopardize driver safety.
