Our Auto Body Repair Process

Vehicle Damage Assessment

Explain the incident and identify the areas of concern. Photographs can support the initial conversation, but damage beneath the vehicle or behind body panels may require an in-person assessment.

Confirm whether an appointment is needed and whether the vehicle should remain at the facility for inspection.

Repair Estimate and Planning

The collision repair estimate should explain the proposed labor, parts and refinishing work. Review the identified damage, recommended repairs and any items that require further investigation.

Discuss authorization and how changes to the repair scope will be communicated.

Body Repair and Refinishing

The approved scope determines the work sequence, including panel repair, component replacement and refinishing where required.

Ask how parts availability and additional findings during disassembly may affect the plan or projected completion date.

Final Inspection

Completed work should be reviewed for the relevant fit, finish and function requirements. Confirm which checks apply to the repaired or replaced components.

Before pickup, review the completed scope, any outstanding recommendations and care instructions for newly refinished areas.

Help With Your Collision Repair Estimate and Insurance Claim

A repair estimate describes the proposed work. Your insurance company separately determines coverage under your policy and claim.

If insurance is involved, have your claim number, insurer’s contact information and relevant correspondence available. Confirm Capitol Collision’s current role in providing repair documentation or communicating with your insurer.

Ask how additional damage and revised estimates will be addressed before further work is authorized. Understanding these steps helps you plan without assuming every proposed repair is covered.
