Most estimates performed prior to disassembly of the vehicle are not accurate because of the probability of hidden damage. Therefore, it is our practice that accurate estimates of the cost to repair, as well as the expected time to complete repairs, are not made until we have disassembled the area of damage to your vehicle. Our normal process is as follows:
1. Obtain your approval for us to repair your vehicle and to negotiate with your insurance company if required.
2. Itemize all visible external damage.
3. Disassemble the damaged area to locate hidden damage.
4. Itemize the previously hidden damage and predict the likelihood of any additional damage.
5. Contact you or your insurance company for inspection and approval of the additional costs required to repair all damages found.
6. Update you with a more precise delivery date and time as repairs progress.
