Choosing the right body repair shop can be a challenge. It's easy to get lost in the wave of ads that pop up when you do an online search. How do you know which one is the right one? Hopefully, before you actually need a major auto body Covina repair, you will have done your research. Try to find a shop that displays graphic before and after pictures. An auto body Covina shop should have extensive experience in restoring and repairing all types of cars.
Those who are experts in vehicle restoration are artists. They often have a perfect vision of the way a car should look once it is repaired. These visionaries can transform an ugly beat up Trans Am into pure road eye candy that turns heads and causes accidents.
I have personally seen an auto body Covina shop restore a crunched up Ford Mustang to its former road warrior glory. If the shops that you visit don't have a visual portfolio, then you probably want to stay clear of that shop. Those who are invested in the work will be proud of their paint jobs and restoration jobs. Every vehicle that comes into a successful auto body shop will be treated like a blank canvass, ready to be transformed into a beautiful piece of art.
Another way of identifying a reputable body repair shop is to scope out the scene before you have your car towed to the facility. Be your own sleuth. Look through auto body lot. Are there many banged up cars? Make little mental notes of what you see and then drive by a week or so later. How do the cars look then? When people are picking up their cars, do they seem elated with the repairs? Are they happy to be getting such a great deal?
The last thing you want check out is whether or not they have computer generated estimates. There is computer technology these days that help car owners restore cars. They can gage the extent of the damage and then through CGI help restoration specialists complete the project. However, it is my belief that a true artist doesn't really need CGI, but it doesn't hurt to have it.
