After a collision: panels, lights and what sits behind them
After even a modest collision on a busy road, the first worry for most drivers in Blurton is how bad it really is. The visible damage might be a dented wing and a split bumper, yet the more important question is whether lights, alignment or suspension have also been affected. Not knowing is often worse than the repair itself.
DB Autos can answer both halves. At our workshop we inspect the bodywork and, where relevant, check the mechanical parts nearby. We walk you through the findings and the proposed repair, and we do not go beyond what you have approved. Imagery of the damaged areas can be sent to you afterwards. Nothing is rushed.
Accident damage is rarely limited to one panel. A front-corner impact can bend a wing, crack the bumper, loosen a headlight and knock the wheel alignment out of true. We treat the car as a whole, starting with the obvious damage and working inward. Where repair is sensible we say so, and where a part must be replaced we explain why. That joined-up approach is the advantage of a garage that does both body and mechanical work. Blurton is about 4 miles from our Salem Street workshop.
Every vehicle is inspected individually, then the repair is explained before work begins.

It can. Impacts may disturb steering, suspension or lighting components. Our mechanical side can inspect these as part of the assessment, so hidden issues are not missed. Better to know now than discover it later.
It depends on the damage. We repair where that gives a sound result and replace where it does not, and we explain our reasoning before work starts so the choice is yours. Nothing is hurried.
