REPAIR PROCESS
10 STEPS TO 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
1. Disassembly
As soon as we receive approval, our experts at Auto Panel Shop starts the process by dismantling your vehicle. Existing parts that we are able to reuse are cleaned, wrapped and put away to guarantee availability further into the maintenance cycle.
2. Parts Ordering
Even though a list of parts may be required
before dismantling your vehicle, further parts might be required. By removing outside panels and parts, a top to bottom perspective on the vehicle may uncover further damage. We will request additional insurance approval while your vehicle is still at Auto Panel Shop.
3. Panelbeating / Mechanical
Mechanical fixes are typically the most delicate as suspension things are ordinarily included. These parts are basic to your vehicle’s wellbeing, so it is vital that this work is done fastidiously. The panelbeating interaction is an unpredictable one with a fine harmony among science and workmanship. Board beating additionally incorporates skeleton fixing which lays on specific hardware recommended by manufacturers and performed via trained professionals.
4. Paint Preparation
Once we are done panel beating, we paint the panels. We spray each panel with a protective primer coat. We sand it so that it is smooth ensuring a perfect paint finish
5. Painting
Before the painting process, our highly skilled paint technicians match the original colours provided by the manufacturer with the existing vehicle colour. Once colours are perfectly matched, the panels are sprayed in a pressured oven where the air is filterd out to minimise dust particles. After the panels are painted, they are heated at 60C for 45 minutes to ensure that the paint is set firmly.
6. Assembly
This is where it all comes together. From parts being fitted to panels being aligned. Electrical and mechanical checks done. Diagnostics checked, making sure that you vehicle is the way that it should be. Quality is the final outcome.
7. Outwork
If there is any work that we are unable to fix ourselves, work requiring specialists such as dealership technology or mag rim repairs. In such cases we send your vehicle off to the relevant auto specialists partners.
8. Polishing
Our polishing process protects the newly painted panels and makes the old faded panels look as good as new giving your car a fresh professional auto body paint job.
