Auto Body and Collision . The Process!
Our Services
C & C Auto and Collision offers a wide array of services necessary to get your vehicle back to the condition it was in before the accident. Here’s a brief description of the steps we will take from the start of your vehicle’s repair to its delivery.
01
Estimate/Tear Down
Once the vehicle arrives we will wash and disassemble all of the damaged components. This step is critical to determine if any components underneath the exterior panels were damaged in the accident. With the complexity and additional safety features common on today’s vehicles, even the most experienced estimator will not know with 100% certainty what is damaged and what is not until this step has occurred.
02
Order Parts
Next, we will work with our network of distributors to get the necessary parts ordered and delivered. By using quality, certified parts on each of our repairs, we ensure our ability to stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty.
03
Structural Repair
This is the stage where all major sheet metal/structural components are replaced and/or repaired. Our technicians will utilize our frame machine to measure and correct any areas of the frame or unibody structure that has been damaged. With this equipment, and our computer generated measurements, we can ensure that your vehicle is returned to the exact dimensions it was when it left the factory.
04
Minor Repair
This is the stage where all minor flaws that occurred during the accident will be remedied. All dents, scrapes, and cosmetic damage will be properly repaired in this stage.
05
Refinish
Next, your vehicle and it’s parts will move to the Refinish Department. Our technicians will utilize our computerized, on-site paint mixing system to mix the paint to match your vehicle’s original color perfectly. The paint is then applied to the vehicle panels in our state of the art, heated, down draft paint booth. This paint booth helps deliver a first class, dirt free finish that matches the original finish of your car. The paint booth also gives us the ability to bake on your new product; leading to a better finish and increasing our efficiency in the repair process.
06
Reassembly
After the new finish has been baked on your vehicle, it is time for us to reassemble the automobile. At this point all new components will be installed to put the car back together. As we complete these final steps, we pay particular attention to detail in order to ensure body lines are correct, headlamps are aligned and any other minor details are taken care of. This allows us to offer you the highest quality repair possible.
07
Detail
Even though we strive to be one of the cleanest shops around, we still take pride in doing a minor detail to your vehicle before we deliver it to you. We hand wash and dry the vehicle, vacuum and wipe down the inside, and clean the windows so your vehicle is returned to you nice and clean.
