What Does Collision Repair Include?
Collision repair addresses damaged body components and related mechanical or electronic work identified during inspection. The scope depends on the impact, vehicle equipment and applicable repair requirements.
Bumpers can conceal broken brackets and wiring. Wheel impacts can affect suspension. Displaced panels may require further measurement. We investigate those concerns before finalizing the repair plan.
Panels & Closures
Bumpers, fenders, hoods, doors, quarter panels and liftgates are assessed for repair or replacement. Hinges, latches and seals are considered where affected.
Structure & Materials
Frame and unibody layouts vary. Steel, aluminum and composite components require appropriate decisions about joining, repairability and replacement.
Protective Treatments
Seam sealing and corrosion protection are reviewed where repairs disturb them. Existing deterioration is documented separately from accident damage.
Equipment That Changes the Repair
Beds & Tailgates
Bed alignment, mounts and tailgate hardware matter after an impact. MultiPro or Multi-Flex equipment and integrated cameras can add requirements.
Hitches & Trailering
Rear damage near a hitch may affect structure, wiring and attachment points. Relevant damage should be assessed before towing resumes.
Ride Control & Upfits
Air suspension, electronic damping, running boards and commercial accessories are identified when relevant. Tell us about modifications at intake.
Is Scanning the Same as Calibration?
No. Scanning reads diagnostic information. Calibration or a learn procedure sets up a system after specified repairs. Your vehicle may require both.
Diagnostic Checks
Scans help document faults and guide inspection. Current GM requirements inform the planned operations; scanning does not replace physical checks.
Cameras & Radar
Windshield, bumper, sensor or suspension work may trigger calibration requirements. Applicable operations are completed or coordinated.
Driver Assistance
Super Cruise and other installed features are identified during assessment. Damaged mounts and wiring can affect their operation.
Steering & Alignment
Wheel, tire, hub and suspension damage is assessed before alignment. Report pulling, vibration or changes in steering-wheel position.
Glass & Lighting
Camera mounts and other options influence glass selection. Headlights may require aim checks and electronic setup.
Restraint Systems
Airbags, seat belts, pretensioners and related components require appropriate inspection and replacement planning.
Electric and hybrid vehicles: battery enclosures, charging components and high-voltage equipment need dedicated assessment when damaged. Confirm available services for your exact model before intake.
Manufacturer reference: GM Collision Repair Position Statements .
How Is the Existing Color Matched?
Computerized matching supports color selection, followed by visual evaluation and test applications where needed. Fading, pearl effects and metallic orientation influence the result.
Cleaning, surface correction and primer preparation come before application. Blending into adjoining panels may create a consistent transition.
After curing, repaired areas are inspected and the vehicle receives complimentary detailing. Qualifying workmanship and paint finish are backed by our lifetime limited warranty. Request the written coverage and exclusions.
Scratches & Scuffs
Surface marks may allow controlled polishing. Deeper damage or cracked coatings can require refinishing.
Dents & Hail
Paintless correction depends on intact paint, access, dent shape and metal stretching.
Coatings & Protective Film
Tell us about wraps, decals, film and ceramic coatings. Removal and reapplication are discussed separately.
Understand the Estimate Before Authorization
Claim Coordination
Bring your claim number and existing estimate. We organize photographs and repair findings. Your insurer determines coverage.
Additional Damage
Concealed findings are documented in a supplement. We explain the change and obtain approval before added work proceeds.
Replacement Components
Our usual preference is original equipment parts. Manufacturer requirements and availability guide selection. Proposed alternatives are identified before installation.
Price and timing depend on parts, labor, approvals and required procedures. Out-of-pocket estimates are available without a claim. Additional cosmetic or service requests are authorized separately.

Before You Schedule
Do you work with my insurance company?

Can you help with my deductible?
Qualifying customers may receive up to $1,000 in assistance. Some restrictions apply. Confirm complete terms before repairs.
Is a free loaner guaranteed?
No. Availability, qualifying work and applicable requirements determine eligibility. Discuss transportation when booking.
What should I bring?
Bring the VIN, claim information if applicable, any existing estimate and photographs. Mention warnings, modifications and handling changes.
Does a warning-free dashboard mean no scan is needed?
No. Some faults do not create an obvious warning. Applicable diagnostic requirements are reviewed for the vehicle.
Can bumper damage affect driver assistance?
Yes. Sensors, wiring and mounts may be affected. Relevant inspection and setup depend on the equipment and repair performed.
Will an electric vehicle need battery replacement?
Exterior appearance cannot determine that. Suspected battery damage requires dedicated assessment and confirmation of the appropriate service scope.
Can I request original equipment parts?
Yes. Discuss your preference before authorization. Manufacturer requirements, availability and policy allowances are reviewed with the parts plan.
When should I arrange towing?
Avoid driving with damaged tires, steering problems, significant leaks, deployed airbags or suspected battery damage. Ask about transport coordination.
What if the vehicle is declared a total loss?
Your insurer determines the claim outcome. We can provide findings and discuss release arrangements. Review settlement questions with the insurer.
Can you assess lease return damage?
Yes. We can review visible concerns and provide an estimate to compare with your agreement and return inspection requirements.
How do I care for newly painted panels?
Follow delivery instructions. Timing for wax, coatings and protective film depends on the refinishing system.
What if I notice an issue after collection?
Contact us promptly about a concern involving the repaired area so it can be reviewed. Retain your invoice and warranty documents.
