Dent repair and bumper repair depend on the damage location, material and component condition. Some damage may be repairable, while cracks, distortion or broken attachments may require replacement.

An assessment helps establish the appropriate option before work is authorized.

Collision Repair After an Accident

Assessing Visible and Hidden Damage

A dented hood, displaced bumper or damaged fender may be immediately apparent. Hidden collision damage can require closer inspection or disassembly to identify.

Describe changes noticed after the accident, including unusual noises, uneven panel gaps or difficulty opening and closing a door.

Our Auto Body Repair Process

Vehicle Damage Assessment

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

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

Repair Estimate and Planning

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

Confirm authorization requirements and how changes to the estimate will be communicated.

Body Repair and Refinishing

The approved scope determines the sequence of bodywork, component replacement and refinishing. Vehicle condition and applicable repair procedures guide the work required.

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

Final Inspection

Completed repairs 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 refinished surfaces.

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 documentation or communicating with your insurer.

Ask how additional damage, revised estimates and further authorization will be addressed before additional work proceeds. Keep any earlier estimates and damage photographs available for the discussion.
