Complete transparency
The Post-Repair Walkthrough
Handing your vehicle back to you is a critical step in our process. Because car owners look at their vehicles very closely after an accident, we take extra time to ensure complete transparency before you drive away.
During our post-repair walkthrough, we sit down with you to review an annotated hard-copy work order detailing every procedure performed. We also review side-by-side before-and-after photographs of the repair work so you can see exactly how your vehicle was restored. This comprehensive review gives you the opportunity to ask questions, inspect every detail, and feel fully confident in the craftsmanship before leaving our shop.
