Our Repair Process

From the first call to your keys back.

The 11-step process we follow on every collision repair — refined over five decades of Central Valley body work.

  • 01

    Reception

    Short intake form, then a Customer Service Specialist walks through every detail of the repair — no rushed handoffs.

  • 02

    Estimating

    Precise, line-by-line estimate with current estimating software. X-Ray estimates available on request.

  • 03

    Customer Service

    Walkthrough of every cost line and insurance authorization handled on the spot. Updates by phone or text — your choice.

  • 04

    Car Rental

    If rental coverage is included, we coordinate the rental so a vehicle is ready when you drop yours off.

  • 05

    Disassembly

    Damaged components removed to reveal the full extent of the repair — including hidden damage not visible at intake.
