Step 1: Initial Inspection and Damage Assessment

The repair process begins with a detailed inspection of the vehicle. Technicians evaluate visible damage and use diagnostic tools to identify any hidden issues.

This stage may include:

• Visual inspection of exterior damage

• Structural measurements

• Diagnostic scans for safety systems

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, proper evaluation after a collision is essential to ensure vehicle safety systems function correctly.

Step 2: Estimate and Insurance Coordination

After the inspection, a repair estimate is prepared outlining the work required. This estimate includes labor, parts, and materials.

Repair facilities often coordinate with insurance providers to:

• Submit repair estimates

• Receive approval for repairs

• Update estimates if additional damage is discovered

This step ensures that all necessary repairs are properly documented and approved.

Step 3: Disassembly and Hidden Damage Inspection

In many cases, technicians will disassemble parts of the vehicle to inspect for hidden damage. This step is critical for identifying issues that may not be visible during the initial inspection.

Additional damage may require:
