How Does Collision Repair Work?

Body Repair - auto body shop idaho falls

Collision repair technicians (also known as auto body technicians or “collision guys”), do the technical and physical work to restore a vehicle damaged in an accident. Collision repair centers like Classic Auto Collision Center provide these services.

Our focus is on returning the vehicle to pre-accident condition.

Before beginning any repairs, collision repair technicians:

  • Conduct a thorough investigation of all visible damage;
  • Examine hidden damage that may not be apparent;
  • Collect relevant information about the incident;
  • Pull every part that is damaged and send information to the insurance company for approvals.

We then get to work with a variety of tools to restore the vehicle. The end result is you having your truck or car repaired, painted and safe to drive again. You won’t find other auto body shops in Idaho Falls that put as much care into the safety of your vehicle as we do.

How Do We Fix It?

At our body shop we use specialized tools to repair the damaged vehicle correctly. 

Each worker has a specific role during the collision repair process: removing dents, straightening panels, prepping for paint and more.

While the body of a vehicle is one thing that collision repair technicians work with every day, there is a lot more involved in restoring a car after an incident. Besides the work done to the body itself, there’s also the need for interior work, glass replacement and more. Each incident is different, but our goal is to ensure each vehicle is restored to its pre-accident condition.

How Long Does It Take?
