Insurance repair detailsWhat the estimate needs to answer
Repair, replace, refinish, or inspect further?
The website cannot decide that question from a service name alone. The correct starting point is the damaged area, the condition of the finish, the vehicle, and the extent of the impact.
A written estimate describes the specific proposed work and estimated parts and labor. If additional collision-related damage is found after authorized disassembly, the repair documents may need to be revised before additional work proceeds.
