Damage can extend below the surface
Exterior panels may hide damage to brackets, reinforcement, wiring, sensors, cooling components, or structure. Additional operations can be identified after disassembly and measurement.
Parts and approvals affect scheduling
Parts availability, part verification, shipping, insurer review, and supplements can change the sequence of work. Clear communication helps everyone understand what is pending.
Modern vehicles require added procedures
Pre- and post-repair scans, alignment, measurements, programming, and ADAS calibration may be required depending on the vehicle and repair.
Quality checks are part of the timeline
Reassembly, fit and finish review, refinishing checks, system verification, cleaning, and final inspection should be completed before delivery.
