Your Scion.
Still your statement.
Practical, distinctive, or built around your own ideas: your Scion has a place in your life. When damage gets in the way, start with a repair assessment that considers the car you actually own.
Start with what changed after the impact.
The Collision Repair Shop provides Scion collision repair estimates, auto body repair, and refinishing in Ferndale, Michigan, for Metro Detroit drivers.
A cracked cover, scraped quarter panel, or shifted door can involve different work depending on the impact and surrounding components. We review the visible damage and identify what needs further inspection.
Describe any new vibration, closing difficulty, warning indicator, or water leak. Those observations help connect the exterior damage with concerns that a photograph alone may not explain.
Give each affected area the attention it requires.
The proposed method depends on material, condition, damage location, component function, and applicable repair limitations.
Bumpers, Hoods and Fenders
Assessment of exterior panels, grilles, lamps, supports, absorbers, and mounting components, including concealed damage around the impact.
Doors and Quarter Panels
Evaluation of damaged panels, hinges, latches, attachment areas, and adjoining bodywork. Changed closing effort and window operation are reviewed where affected.
Trunks, Hatches and Rear Openings
Inspection of bumper assemblies, rear panels, lamps, latches, and sealing areas, with attention to new fit or water-intrusion concerns.
Structural Damage Assessment
Review of impact-related movement and attachment points. Measurement needs and applicable information guide the proposed structural scope.
Dents, Scratches and Hail
Assessment of localized damage and the existing finish. Paintless dent repair may be considered where the paint, material, dent shape, and access allow it.
Paint Repair and Color Blending
Premium Glasurit products, surface preparation, color evaluation, and appropriate blending for repaired or replacement panels.
Glass, Mirrors and Lighting
Planning for collision-related damage to glass, regulators, mirror assemblies, lamps, brackets, and associated components.
Tires, Wheels and Suspension Concerns
Inspection planning for damaged tires, wheels, steering, and suspension. Pulling, vibration, or new noises should be reported during intake.
Diagnostics and Required Checks
Identification of applicable inspections, scans, and procedures based on installed equipment and the work performed. Specialist needs are discussed during planning.
A modified car needs an accurate starting description.
Wheels, suspension, lighting, body kits, spoilers, wraps, and other changes can affect repair planning. Even a familiar-looking component may have different mounting or fit requirements.
Tell us which parts are factory-installed, which have been changed, and what you want retained. Provide manufacturer names, receipts, or component details when available.
Custom work should be defined separately. A collision estimate does not automatically include redesigning a body kit, correcting pre-existing fit issues, or recreating a one-off finish.
A model name does not confirm a replacement part.
The exact year, body style, equipment, and component details matter when identifying a replacement. Similar appearance does not establish compatibility.
We discuss the parts proposed for the repair and any known availability limitations. Requirements, condition, insurance coverage, and authorization influence the selection.
If you find a component online, ask us to review it before purchase. Necessary brackets, clips, trim, and hardware can be as important as the main part itself.
Define the appearance you want to carry forward.
Existing paint, previous refinishing, custom colors, and exterior graphics all influence the plan. Identify distinctive details before work begins.
We use premium Glasurit automotive refinishing products. Surface condition, color evaluation, and appropriate blending are considered for each proposed repair.
Understand the Surface
Cleaning, sanding, priming, and sealing are planned around the material, damaged coating, and any existing bodywork found during preparation.
Evaluate the Current Finish
Paint information is considered alongside the surrounding appearance. Blending may be proposed to improve the panel-to-panel transition.
Account for Graphics and Protection
Wraps, decals, coatings, and film may need separate removal or reapplication work, with timing suited to the refinished surface.
Compare the work included, not only the total.
Cost reflects the damage, parts, labor, refinishing, and any required diagnostic or specialist operations. Different totals may reflect different proposed scopes.
Authorized disassembly can reveal damaged supports, attachments, wiring, or other concealed components. Additional findings are documented and discussed before further authorized work.
Our team assists with insurance photographs, communication, and supplements. Coverage remains subject to the policy and insurer review. Clarify unresolved items and customer responsibility before authorization.
Know which decision comes next.
Bring your VIN, damage photos, claim information if applicable, and any existing estimate. Include details about modifications and changes noticed after the impact.
Parts supply, approvals, additional findings, and scheduling can affect completion. We discuss those factors as the repair becomes better defined.
Establish the Starting Point
Review the impact, existing condition, equipment, modifications, and your priorities.
Identify the Repair Needs
Inspection and authorized disassembly help define components and operations.
Agree on the Plan
Discuss parts, approvals, customer costs, and scheduling factors.
Review the Finished Work
At collection, review the invoice, completed scope, care instructions, and written warranty.
