How Long Will My Body Shop Repairs Take?
This is the number one most asked question we receive from our customers, and we are happy to shed some light on this subject.
Many factors can affect the length of repairs, as no two accidents are the same. Hidden damage behind exterior panels must be ruled out first, or else the plan of repair is going to be inaccurate. Once that is completed, if we are dealing with an insurance company, the approval process can take anywhere from one to six business days. Once the approval is received, we are required to obtain your authorization once more, and then the parts are ordered.
After we receive ETA’s on the parts, then we can advise you of when we anticipate having your repairs completed. Typically, the approval process from an insurance company takes longer than we need to perform the entire repair process. Our goal is to minimize your downtime and ensure you are updated every step of the way.

Thanks for helping me understand that there are hidden damages from the exterior that must be checked as well for auto body repairs. I will keep that in mind now that I need to get my car repaired after it got damages from the hail storm yesterday. I just forgot to park the car in the garage because I forgot about the news regarding the hailstorm.
I didn’t know that some repairs could take weeks. My wife hit a deer on the road. I need to get an auto shop that can fix the bumper.
Thanks for the information.
I like how you mentioned that it is important to fix hidden damages before it gets worse. My uncle mentioned to me last night that he is hoping to find a reliable automotive service because he’s not able to use his BMW and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article and I’ll be sure to tell him that he can consult a well-known automotive service in town as they can answer all his inquiries and will provide good-quality service.
It really helped when you explained that the hidden damages must be ruled out first to have an accurate plan for the exterior parts. I hope that I can find an auto collision repair shop that would be that professional to give me peace of mind that my car would be safe to drive after getting it fixed. I just had this huge dent on the front area after I skid on the road this afternoon on my way home.
I found it interesting when you said if we’re working with an insurance company, the approval procedure can take anywhere from one to six business days until that’s done. I used to think differently about it not until you explained it briefly and it really got my attention. What you said about collision repair was really interesting to me.
It really helped when you said the time it takes for an insurance company to approve a claim is greater than the time it takes for us to complete the full repair procedure. Our objective is to minimize your downtime while keeping you informed at all times. I have a cousin who is doing a research paper this should help him, I’ll share it with him. Thank you for the information about auto body repair.
