Now that you’ve decided not to allow your brother to knock the dings out of your car’s fender, how will you choose the right professional auto body shop to do the job right? Lots of shady characters pose as auto body repair people. So, how can you make sure the auto body shop you select is up to snuff?
What are people saying?
When choosing an auto body repair shop, there are two things that will help you narrow down your choice. First, look for shops in the area which have plenty of great reviews. Second, ask family and friends for recommendations. If several people like a particular shop and say complimentary things about them, the collision center will likely meet any other criteria you place on them.
What are their qualifications?
Examine any auto body repair shop’s qualifications. The company, I-Car, sets the standard for certifications for auto body repair estimators and collision technicians. So, if the shop you select is certified by I-Car (which has certified DG Collision), you know the job will be done right. Our technicians carry three I-Car certifications. In addition, we are ppg factory refinish-certified and possess a Car-O-Liner certification for electronic frame measuring. Rest assured, with these certifications to back us up, your car is in good hands.
Put it in writing!
Many disreputable auto body shops vaguely estimate charges. Then, later, they present you with a bill that’s filled with charges they have previously never mentioned. A reputable shop will not follow this practice. We will not only clearly estimate the costs, but we will go so far as put everything in writing, which is very important. By doing so, we demonstrate transparency about the whole process. So, there will not be a “gotcha” moment at the end. If our techs spot anything amiss while working on your vehicle, we will immediately stop working and contact you as well as your insurance company (if applicable) and revise the estimate.
Communication is key
Not only will do we offer an estimate in writing. But we also clearly communicate throughout the entire auto body repair process. We explain what we intend to do to your vehicle. We also offer tips that will help you maintain the body yourself going forward. So, at the end of your lease or trade in, your vehicle will be in top condition.
