Auto Collision Process

When you first arrive at Elite Body Works, our team will provide an estimate on your vehicle before getting the repair process started. We will:

Estimate the cost for the work to be done
Forward our estimate to your insurance company
Jointly schedule a date for work to commence once you or your insurance company approves the repairs
Disassemble the vehicle and take a closer look at the damaged areas
Create a supplement report, if necessary, and send it to you or the insurer for approval. Any additional parts needed will then be ordered
Provide you with an estimated completion date as we begin the body repair process

Call us today for more information.

The auto body repairs process consists of the following steps. We will:

Begin the body repair process by making sure all the necessary replacement parts are available
Assemble and align the internals and set the vehicle up on our repair equipment
Prepare and install any new panels which are primed, sealed, and protected against corrosion
Inspect and test all work before the vehicle is declared ready for painting
Call you with a confirmed completion date, once the vehicle is ready for painting. Then the vehicle enters the paint and delivery process below

The paint and delivery process consists of the following steps. We will:

Pressure wash and clean the vehicle. It's then prepped, primed, sanded, and sealed
Tape, bag, mask, and blow off any latent grit and ready the panels for painting
Use a multi-step refinishing process and an acrylic urethane paint system
Reassemble the vehicle, once all the panels are painted, and then align the wheels
Test drive the vehicle to be sure everything is working properly
Notify you that all repairs are complete and confirm the pickup date
