What they’ll do is conduct a full inspection and then document the damage in order to prepare the estimate. This is done even if your car insurance company had already provided a preliminary estimate. Also, we’re not able to officially start on your vehicle until you sign off on the repair authorization, and another signature in advance in case we find any other damages while working on your vehicle.
Afterwards, we locate are the necessary parts for your vehicle
Once we have all the parts at our N Charlotte Toyota body shop, we’ll go ahead and schedule your repair.

When the repair finally begins, this is the stage where we may find additional damage (sometimes this damage can’t be diagnosed at the initial consultation). In the event we do find more damage, we’ll provide a supplementary report documenting it, and your insurance company will also have to approve it. While this is all going on we’re going to be making sure that you stay informed with every update.
