How the Repair Process Works

1. Quick estimate
    Book online or call. We review the damage in person or by photos, confirm next steps, and give you a clear written estimate.
2. Insurance guidance
    ICBC claims are welcome. We walk you through the claim, what is covered, and what approvals are needed before work begins.
3. Scheduling and parts prep
    Once you approve the plan, we order parts, reserve a bay, and set a start date that fits your schedule. You get text or call updates.
4. Structural and safety checks
    Before panels come off, we measure the vehicle to factory specifications. If alignment or structure is out, we correct it first.
5. Body repair and refinishing
    Panels are repaired or replaced, seams sealed, and surfaces prepped. We match colour and finish so the repair disappears in natural light.
6. Calibration and systems verification
    If sensors, cameras, or ADAS features were affected, we coordinate calibration so safety systems are ready for the road.
7. Road test and quality check
    Your vehicle is test driven, panel gaps and lines are inspected, and the finish is reviewed under proper lighting.
8. Pickup and post-repair support
    We walk you through the work completed, share care instructions, and answer questions. If anything needs attention after pickup, we make it right.

Bottom line: Clear steps, steady communication, and a repair that looks right and drives right across the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and the Interior.

Built for Mountain Miles and Winter Swings

Interior driving hits hard: heat, cold, gravel, passes. Our numbers and timelines reflect real conditions.

 Free written estimate: Clear pricing with notes for potential hidden damage after teardown (common with winter impacts).

ICBC claim support: Claim setup or guidance provided. We submit supplements if we uncover structural items, no work proceeds without your okay and insurer approval.

Parts options: OEM where required; approved aftermarket/recycled when appropriate. We flag supply-chain realities that can affect remote or peak-season deliveries.

Timeline expectations: Start dates balanced against weather, road conditions, and parts freight. If storms or supply delays pop up, you get the update first.

Mobility: Rental coordination for highway commuters and weekend towing needs; we aim to minimize downtime for work trucks and SUVs.

Pickup & payment: Final inspection under proper lighting, deductible handled, plus care instructions for temperature swings and gravel exposure.

Have More Questions?

Do winter hits hide extra damage?
Often. Ice and underbody impacts can conceal structural issues. If teardown reveals more, we document it, submit a supplement to ICBC, and call you before proceeding. (Supplements/approvals are part of the process described on site.)

How do parts delays affect smaller towns?
Freight and weather can add a day or two. We build that into your window and update you if conditions change.

My truck tows/hauls, will the repair account for that?
Yes. We verify alignment, panel gaps, hitch/lighting, and clearances so it’s ready for work and weekends.

Stone chips keep coming back, what’s the fix?
We refinish chip-prone areas with proper edge prep and blends designed for heat/cold cycling common on Interior roads.

Do you offer detailing or wheel alignment while it’s in?
Select shops can coordinate detailing and wheel alignment during the repair; ask at booking so we can plan it with your timeline.

Are all locations ICBC-accredited?
Yes, the QA network emphasizes ICBC-accredited, c.a.r. Shop VALET facilities province-wide.
