The plans for the day did not include being involved in an auto accident. Even so, that is what happened on the way home from work. The car can be driven, but the body is no longer in pristine condition. The only thing left to do is contact the insurance company and arrange to take the car to a local Auto Body Shop in Johnson County. Here is what the car owner can expect to happen next.
A Complete Assessment of the Damage
Upon arriving at the Auto Body Shop in Johnson County, the team there will inspect the vehicle carefully. The goal is to determine the extent of the damage. It is important for the car owner to realize that not all of the damage may be readily apparent to the untrained eye. For example, it is easy to see that the rear door is heavily dented, but a novice may not notice that the car’s frame is also damaged. Thanks to the careful inspection, there will be no doubt about what sort of work is needed to restore the car to its former condition.
Preparing a Quote
Once the team has a clear picture of what needs to be repaired, the next step is to prepare the quote. That involves finding the right replacement parts and obtaining costs for the purchase of those components. The labor involved with making the repairs is also factored into the final quote. Once the quote is ready, the team will present it to the owner and to the insurance company.
Moving Forward with the Repairs
Once the insurance company approves the quote, the repairs can get underway. Depending on the extent of the damage and the number of projects that are already underway, it could be anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks before the car is ready for pickup.
