Damage Report process area the vehicle is inspected, and relevant data is
entered into a damage report that determines initial cost of repairs.
Additionally, there is often hidden damage that can not be seen until after
the vehicle is disassembled. |

After
the damage report is completed, the insurance company reviews it. The
insurance company determines if the vehicle is repairable. Then the vehicle
begins the actual repair process. |

good adhesion when the final top color and clear coats of refinish are
applied. |

Final
moldings and detail pieces are attached to the vehicle in the reassembly
area. All the vehicle's systems are checked during this process. The vehicle
is almost complete and ready for delivery when it is in this stage. |

During the

thoroughly cleaned. It will also be road tested to ensure that everything is
working properly. A final inspection will assure that the vehicle is
