Walking Through the Repair Process at Zimbrick

Preliminary Estimate and Approval

Our technicians perform a visual inspection of the damage, while we also gather relevant customer and vehicle information. Once our findings are entered into a computer, a preliminary cost estimate is produced.

After the preliminary estimate is completed and we determine that your vehicle can be repaired, we’ll move forward with your authorization. Your insurer may also need to agree to the estimate.

Schedule the Repair

Based on the preliminary estimate, an initial parts order is placed while we schedule an appointment for the work to be made.

Break It Down

Our repair technicians will disassemble the areas where your vehicle needs work. At this time, they will document any previously undiscovered damage and add it to the preliminary estimate. We will contact you, and your insurance provider if needed, to approve the new repairs.

Structural and Body Repairs

Using OEM-approved tools and equipment, our technicians will measure and return your vehicle to the manufacturer-specified dimensions. 70% of vehicles suffering collision damage show some signs of structural misalignment, which is why diagnosing and repairing the structure is vital to ensuring safety.

Depending on the extent of the damage to the body of your car, truck, or SUV, the body repair step is when we straighten or replace exterior panels. Each panel is carefully aligned and fitted to ensure everything looks just right.

Paint

Getting your vehicle to look just right is crucial to the repair process. Our technicians carefully prep, prime, and seal each panel before applying the eco-friendly waterborne color and polyurethane clear coat. We precisely mix each color in order to deliver a picture-perfect match.

Reassembly

During the reassembly phase, everything is inspected and adjusted, so your vehicle is returned to its pre-accident condition.

Among the services conducted during the reassembly phase include:

• Installation of lights, moldings, trim, and hardware
• Electrical and mechanical systems checks
• Wheel alignments
• Air conditioning recharges
• Road test

Detailing

Every vehicle we service receives a wash, vacuum, paint inspection, and a polish if necessary.

Delivery

When you return to one of our Zimbrick Body Shops to pick up your vehicle, we’ll sit down and explain the bill, show the completion of the repair work, and collect payment.
