DB There's no single answer to how long a bodywork repair takes, since it depends heavily on the type and extent of the damage.
What affects repair time
- Whether the repair is cosmetic or involves accident damage
- The number of panels affected
- Whether paintwork, colour matching and blending are needed
- Whether parts need to be ordered, such as headlights or mirror assemblies
- Paint curing and finishing time
Roughly how repairs compare
A minor cosmetic repair, such as paintless dent removal or a small scratch touch-up, is generally much quicker than an accident repair involving several panels, replacement parts, or extensive colour matching and refinishing.
Getting a realistic timeframe
The best way to know how long your specific repair will take is to have it assessed, since this accounts for the actual damage rather than a generic estimate.
DB Autos will give you a realistic timeframe once your vehicle has been assessed. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
