Dent and Bumper Repair

Dent repair and bumper repair depend on the component’s material, damage location and overall condition. A shallow dent and a crushed or cracked component may require different work.

Tell the team about damaged trim, loose attachments or parking-sensor warnings. Review the recommended repair or replacement before authorizing work.

Assessing Visible and Hidden Damage

Visible dents, cracked parts and uneven panel gaps help identify areas needing attention. They may not reveal the full extent of the impact.

Closer inspection or authorized removal of damaged components can uncover hidden collision damage. Ask how additional findings will affect the estimate and approval process.

Paint Matching and Refinishing

Body repairs and paint refinishing are connected stages of the same job. A panel may need repair or replacement before its finish can be restored.

Our Auto Body Repair Process

Vehicle Damage Assessment

Start with vehicle details, accident information and photographs showing the damage. Include close-up images and wider views of the affected area.

Explain warning messages, unusual noises, steering changes or doors that no longer operate normally. An in-person inspection may be needed to establish the repair requirements.

Repair Estimate and Planning

Review the proposed repairs, replacement parts, refinishing and related work. Ask which items remain dependent on further inspection.

Confirm authorization requirements and how changes will be communicated. An early estimate may change if additional damage becomes visible.

Body Repair and Refinishing

The agreed repair plan identifies the components to repair or replace and the areas requiring refinishing.

If new findings change the scope, discuss the additional recommendations and required approvals. Ask for updated timing when the repair plan changes.

Final Inspection

Before pickup, review the completed repairs, component fit and available documentation. Discuss changes from the original estimate and any outstanding work.

Confirm pickup arrangements before traveling from Putnam, and ask about care instructions for repaired or refinished areas.

Help With Your Collision Repair Estimate and Insurance Claim

Have your insurer’s name, claim number and any existing damage estimate available when contacting Capitol Collision.

Ask how the proposed work relates to the insurer’s estimate, who must approve additional repairs and what documentation may be needed. Confirm the shop’s current insurance-assistance arrangements for your claim.

Your insurer determines coverage under your policy. A collision repair estimate explains proposed work; it does not guarantee insurance payment.
