At Ground Zero Collision, we understand that being in an accident can be a stressful and frustrating experience. That’s why we want to make the collision repair process as transparent and straightforward as possible. We know that you may have questions about what happens to your car when it’s in our care, so we want to take the time to explain the steps that your car goes through as we make repairs.
Step 1: Assessment and Damage Estimation
The first step in the collision repair process is assessment and damage estimation. When you bring your car to our facility, one of our experienced estimators will inspect your car and assess the damage. We will then provide you with a detailed estimate of the cost and time required to make the necessary repairs. We will work closely with your insurance company to ensure that the estimate is accurate and covers all necessary repairs.
Step 2: Disassembly and Parts Ordering
Once your repair estimate is approved, we will begin disassembling your car to assess the full extent of the damage. This step allows us to identify any hidden damage that may not have been visible during the initial assessment. After disassembly, we will order any necessary parts and components required for the repair. We work with trusted suppliers to ensure that we receive high-quality OEM parts. We take a strong stand about always insisting on OEM parts, and this article reminds us of why that is so important.
Step 3: Structural and Body Repair
The next step in the collision repair process is structural and body repair. Our technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to repair any damage to your car’s frame or body. We use computerized measuring systems to ensure that the repair is accurate and precise. Our technicians are highly skilled and experienced in working with a wide range of makes and models, so you can be confident that your car is in good hands.
Step 4: Paint and Refinishing
After the structural and body repair is complete, we move on to paint and refinishing. Our skilled painters use computerized color-matching systems to ensure that the paint matches your car’s original color. We use high-quality paint and refinishing materials to ensure a durable and long-lasting finish. We take pride in our work, and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with the results.
Step 5: Reassembly and Quality Control
The final step in the collision repair process is reassembly and quality control. Our technicians will carefully reassemble your car and test all systems and components to ensure that everything is working correctly. We will also perform a detailed quality control inspection to ensure that the repair meets our high standards of quality and workmanship.
At Ground Zero Collision, we understand that your car is more than just a means of transportation. It’s an essential part of your life, and we treat it with the care and respect it deserves. We stand behind our work and warranty all repairs. If you have any questions about the collision repair process or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us today.
