DB If you've never had bodywork repaired before, it's not always obvious what actually happens between dropping the car off and picking it up looking as good as new. Here's a general overview of the process.
1. Assessment
The technician examines the damage closely, checking the extent, depth and any related areas that might be affected, to work out the most appropriate repair method.
2. Explaining the plan
Before any work begins, you'll be told what's recommended and why, so there are no surprises. Additional work is never carried out without authorisation.
3. Repair
Depending on the damage, this might involve reshaping the panel, paintless dent repair, filling, or replacing a component such as a bumper or headlight.
4. Preparation and paint
Where paintwork is involved, the area is prepared, primed, colour matched, and blended into the surrounding panel before a protective clearcoat is applied.
5. Final inspection
The completed repair is checked over before the vehicle is returned to you.
DB Autos follows this process for every bodywork repair, keeping you informed throughout. Call 01782 844320 to arrange an assessment.
