What Distinguishes Freeway Auto Body Edmonton
1. Detailed Auto Body Estimate
The first step in our collision repair process involves providing you with a detailed and accurate auto body estimate. Our trained estimators thoroughly inspect your vehicle to compile an estimate that outlines the cost of repairs. Please note that hidden internal damage may be revealed once our technicians begin their work.
2. Insurance Approval and Negotiation
Once you receive your estimate, your insurance provider will review and potentially adjust it. This includes negotiating the price and repair procedures. The insurance company also determines the vehicle’s repairability. We recommend contacting your insurance provider for specifics on coverage.
3. Vehicle Disassembly and Hidden Damage Assessment
During disassembly, hidden damage is often discovered, necessitating updates to your insurance provider regarding additional repairs.
4. Ordering Essential Parts
Our team orders the necessary parts for your vehicle. While many parts arrive quickly at our Edmonton auto body shop, the repair process commences only after all structural parts are received.
5. Structural Repair to Factory Specifications
In this stage, your vehicle’s structure is meticulously repaired, returning it to its original factory specifications. We use sophisticated measuring systems to ensure accurate and precise auto body repairs.
6. Precise Color Matching
Our computerized database aids in color matching, storing thousands of paint codes and formulas. Once the paint is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s exterior, we apply it, including edging for areas inaccessible post-reassembly.
7. Exterior Panel Replacement and Metal Finishing
The body repair department replaces exterior panels and completes all metal finishing. New or repaired panels are sealed and rustproofed to maintain corrosion protection. The vehicle then moves to paint preparation.
8. Paint Preparation Services
A critical step in refinishing, this stage involves painting all panels, followed by chemical etching, priming, and sealing to ensure proper paint adhesion.
9. High-Quality Painting
We apply a high-quality Sikkens® finish in a controlled spray booth, followed by baking to ensure a durable, long-lasting finish.
10. Reassembly and System Checks
In the reassembly stage, final moldings and detail pieces are added. All vehicle systems are checked to ensure full functionality.
11. Final Detailing and Inspection
Our team cleans your vehicle, removing any dust accumulated during repairs. Road testing and a final inspection ensure the vehicle is restored to its pre-accident condition.
12. Vehicle Delivery
In the final step, we explain your final bill in detail and complete the necessary paperwork. You then drive away in
a vehicle that has been restored to its original state, both in terms of appearance and performance.
