Your auto body repair quality is absolutely crucial when it comes to getting your ride back up and running. An auto collision can truly upend your vehicle and the repair process can be quite exhausting and scary. There are too many parts that need to be fixed and there's a lot that can go wrong.
If you've chosen to repair your vehicle with a shop that's different than our Clermont Certified Collision Center (how dare you?), then you might want to be careful to ensure that your vehicle will be repaired to factory condition. We're here to help you make sure your auto body repair is up to par. Let's check it out!
What to Look for After Your Auto Body Repair
Like we said, having collision repair work done can be stressful and, unless you pick a reputable and reliable shop that you frequent, there are a few things that you'll want
to check to ensure a quality job well done.
Get a Comprehensive Explanation Up Front
The best place to start on your auto body collision repair story is at the beginning. Before you begin the process of repairing your Clermont Toyota vehicle it's best to get a complete idea of what your repair process will entail. Depending on the type of accident you get into you might wind up with a laundry list of repairs needing to be made. But, bring a pad and pen so you know what to check for when the job is complete.
Check For Paint Mismatches
A dead giveaway for a poor Clermont auto body collision repair job is mismatched paint. While a quality repair shop (hint hint) will only use genuine paint to repaint your vehicle after repair work is completed. But, if you're nervous about your repair work quality there's a good chance the paint they used to repaint your vehicle isn't exactly matching. If you notice in certain lights and areas that the paint doesn't quite match up, then the repair job was definitely not up to par.
Check the Frame Spec Print Out
If the auto body repair shop includes this with your exit package, definitely give it a once over. The frame spec print out sheet gives customers a detailed listing of the repairs done and how much the frame was adjusted throughout the repair process. While many Clermont Toyota drivers won't quite understand what's detailed in this auto body repair document, it's helpful to ask questions and get explanations.
Pay Attention to How Your Car Drives After Repairs are Done
While your vehicle might pass all the cosmetic check boxes, it's best to also check how it performs after repairs are completed. Does your vehicle feel well aligned? Is the steering wheel working properly? Does the vehicle shake and/or rattle when using your brakes? If you notice any of these signs and more, there could be a flaw in the work that you're not quite seeing.
