Finding the right bodyshop for your car
It’s important to get the right bodyshop for your car so that you can get the highest quality finish for your model. You may want to consider some of the following questions as you conduct your research:
- Has the bodyshop been in business for many years?
- Are the team experienced enough to tackle all potential problems?
- Does the bodyshop have all the correct equipment?
- Are high-quality products being used throughout the repair process?
- Are there metal fabrication facilities on site?
- Are you able to look around the facility to assess quality?
- Are the prices fair? Do they offer stage payments to be agreed upon after each process has been signed off?
- Will the team understand what I want? Am I assured to get top-quality work?
