Auto Collision Repair in Ottawa, IL 61350

State-of-the-Art Auto Collision Repair

Your car isn't just any car, it's your investment. Whether you drive a new car, a lease or an old vehicle, your investment needs to be protected! An accident can result in severe structural damage, but even if it's a small one, you'd still want body repair experts working on your car, using state-of-the-art unibody and frame repair equipment. Auto collision repair goes beyond fixing structural and body damage, it also includes paint and refinish. At CARSTAR Poplar in Ottawa, IL, we give you options, from expert color matching to paintless dent repairs if possible. Our expert technicians and QAs will also run extensive quality control and assurance inspections to make sure you're getting your car back in excellent shape.

Auto Collision Repair Explained

Although the name may seem pretty self explanatory, when repairing a vehicle after an accident, there is much more to a proper auto collision repair process. First, it should start long before your car is being worked on - it should start the moment you call in the accident. Arranging for a tow service, liaising with your insurance, assisting with car rentals; these are all things your chosen auto collision repair shop should be helping you with. Once you and your car have safely arrived at the shop, the process starts with an extensive damage assessment, which can sometimes mean vehicle disassembly to find any hidden damage early on. Structural and body repairs are the next step of the process, followed by paint and refinish. Even then the process is not complete, as expert QAs need to run quality inspections to make sure your vehicle is returned to you in perfect shape.
