An estimate is a diagnosis; it is the best assessment of repair cost based upon a review of your auto damage without physically taking your car apart. With professional expertise and experience repairing vehicles, we do our utmost to present you with a comprehensive summary of repair cost that can be performed in the most ecomically affordable manner. Occaisionally, other variable costs may affect your total cost of repair dependent upon the amount of significant damage, the complexity of repair, and in some cases, the age of your vehicle.

What is a Supplemental Addendum?

An estimate is a projection of cost and is extremely effective in identifying routine repair procedures such as frame alignment, paintless dent repair, or part replacement, as example. It is much more difficult to assess comprehensive collision damage that impacts multiple operational or control systems in new model vehicles that are interactive and often computerized, especially within a 30 minute window of time. Damage of this caliber may require disassembly of your car or truck and involve technical problem solving along with testing to check operational capability. A supplemental addendum or addition may be added to your initial estimate if the repair warrants more parts or labor upon more intense diagnostic inspection. You will be advised of any repair expense before work begins on your vewhicle.

Repair needs to address load bearing capability, material fatigue, durability and operational function in addition to form to save you long term in road safety and mobility in the future.

Controlling the Cost of Auto Body and Collision Repair

Expertise with a specific make or model of vehicle, its age, and the technologies incorporated in its design and production is critical to controlling cost. Significant damage takes a process of re-manufacturing your car or truck. A technician often works within the constraints of a vehicle's existing components and framework merging new fabrication and parts. With knowledge of advanced automotive technologies, manufacturer development processes, and automotive engineering, complex repair can be streamlined with efficiency. Knowing manufacturer specifications and maintaining leading-edge equipment and information systems, while instrumental to repair, is not enough to produce cost-effective repair processes without the understanding of the rapid automotive design and development product life cycles. With each manufacturer introducing continual production processes for advancements in energy, performance and safety, this knowledge is vital to making repair feasible and economic.

Cost Containment with Older Vehicle Models

If your vehicle is older, you may elect to use other options for automotive parts instead of OEM (Originial Equipment Manufactured) parts in order to more effectively control cost. We serve as logistics advisors to you and can locate sound, reliable parts as options in reconstruction if this is in your interest.
