This type of inspection is performed after body shop repairs have been completed. It typically takes place when the vehicle owner notices quality issues with the work that was done. It will include a review of the billing provided by the body shop and the insurance company, as well as a complete visual inspection of the vehicle’s post-repair condition. In some instances, further diagnostics like frame measurements, OBDII fault code scanning, and partial disassembly of the vehicle may be needed to determine the scope of the issues present on the vehicle.

If you have had a less than satisfactory experience with your selected auto body shop, and you see unresolved issues with your vehicle, this is a good time to have an inspection done. You have the right to receive a safe and properly repaired vehicle from a body shop.

An average inspection takes 30 minutes at the minimum, but could possibly last 2 hours. This is dependent upon the amount of quality issues that are present and how thorough of a report is required.

There are many examples, but here are some of the most common: Excessive texture in the paint finish, dirt/debris in the paint finish, poor gaps between panels, missing hardware or fasteners for trim pieces, unfamiliar warning lights on the instrument panel, missing corrosion protection, wavy body work/dent repair, and buffing compound slag in the vehicle jambs. If you have these issues, please contact us, as typically there are more severe issues to be uncovered.

Most, if not all, major insurance companies report your vehicle’s accident history to businesses like Carfax or Autocheck. This alone can negatively impact the value of your vehicle, which excludes the situation when your repairs were done poorly.

This type of inspection is a outside the scope of business that this company offers. Pre-purchase inspections are a useful tool for deciding to purchase a new or used vehicle.

This is the financial loss in value of your vehicle due to the fact that collision repair work has been performed on the car (regardless of how well the repairs were performed). Typically, this only applies in 3rd party claim situations.
