Auto body repair
Repair the condition—not just the surface.
Body damage can involve panels, attachment points, adjacent parts, finish, and underlying structure. A useful inspection separates what is visible from what still needs to be verified.

Repair versus replacement
Whether a component can be repaired or should be replaced depends on its material, location, condition, vehicle-specific procedures, and the complete repair plan—not a universal rule.
Fit, finish, and function
A body repair is evaluated through more than appearance. Panel fit, gaps, attachment, nearby functions, refinishing, corrosion protection, and final checks all belong in the documented process.
Discuss the damage with the shop.
Before you schedule
Questions worth answering clearly.
How long will the repair take?
Timing depends on the confirmed scope, authorizations, parts, sublet work, and production capacity. A completion date should be based on those facts rather than promised before inspection.
