Our Repair Process

Our process prioritizes transparency and customer care. From consultation to completion, we update you every step of the way. Repairs are performed to manufacturer standards, ensuring your safety and satisfaction.

Please contact us if your vehicle needs collision repairs. Our estimators will guide you through the claims process and help coordinate any towing needed.

Bring your vehicle to Friendly Chevrolet Certified Collision Center or ask your towing company to transport it to us if the vehicle is not drivable.
Your Friendly Collision Estimator will ask you to sign a repair authorization, which allows us to repair your vehicle. We will answer any questions that you may have.
Your Friendly estimator will map the vehicle and build a repair plan. This will include a pre-scan of the vehicle’s software and electrical system, disassembly of the damaged area, and creation of the estimate.
The insurance company must accept the repair plan before we may begin work. Often, the longest delays come while waiting for these approvals. We will make every effort to communicate with the insurance provider. We may need your assistance at times, and your help is greatly appreciated. If a supplement to the original repair amount is necessary (for example, if additional damage is discovered during the disassembly of the vehicle), we will submit a request for the supplement to the insurance company. This process also requires acceptance and may take additional time. Sometimes more than one supplement is required, depending on the insurance company.
Upon receiving approvals from you and agreement with the insurance company on the repair work and any supplements, we will begin the process of locating and ordering the parts necessary to repair your vehicle.

Once all critical parts are received for the repair, work on the vehicle will begin.

Vehicle Set on Uni-body Repair Equipment (if necessary)
The exact location and fit of integral parts are critical to the operation and appearance of your vehicle. In this process, we measure your vehicle against published factory specifications and return your vehicle to within those prescribed tolerances.

New Panels Installed and Checked for Proper Fit
All collision-related repairs require some degree of cosmetic repair and often require replacement of factory panels. We will check for proper fit and ensure that your vehicle’s parts look and align as they did when new.

Corrosion Protection Reapplied to Repaired Areas
Most vehicles incorporate some form of corrosion protection applied by the original manufacturer.

All Metal Work Done and Initial Testing
We begin to check all systems for proper functionality and perform quality control of the repair work.

If we find additional claim-related damage, we will repeat step 5. For this reason, our estimator may have asked you to sign an authorization document in advance to cover these additional repairs.
Vehicle Prepped, Primed, and Blocked
Our technicians will begin the refinish process by priming the surface. An ultra-thin layer of filler is applied to repaired panels to ensure a quality, uniform, and smooth surface. Block sanding is used to further prepare the vehicle for paint.

Vehicle Is Chemically Cleaned and Tacked
This process removes all outside contaminates that may have been deposited on your vehicle during the repair process.

Vehicle Is Masked, Taped, and Placed in Paint Booth
To ensure that the highest quality standards are met, we carefully mask your vehicle to protect it from overspray during the refinish process. We then place your vehicle in a paint booth, a controlled environment where paint material is applied.

Vehicle Undergoes Multi-Step Refinishing Process
Most vehicles are coated with a basecoat/clearcoat refinish system. All systems involve several application steps to ensure a quality, factory finish.

Once we have completed the refinish process, we reattach the outer parts such as mirrors, moldings, and other hardware.
Even though much of the mechanical work (suspension part replacement, alignment, air bags, etc.) will take place during the repair process, all vehicles will have a post-scan of the software completed prior to delivery.
Your vehicle will go through an extensive post-repair inspection of all work completed. We will also perform a test drive of the vehicle.

The vehicle will be cleaned thoroughly prior to pick up.
