What To Expect at Our Chevy Collision Center

Our team will assess your vehicle and provide an estimate of expected costs and repair time. We can talk you through this estimate and answer any questions you have about the work and the results you can expect. We'll also take your claim number and direct you to our on-site rental car service if you need a hire vehicle. Some insurance companies provide rental car coverage during collision repairs, so make sure you check your entitlements before you visit us.

We'll then start working on your repairs so that we can return your vehicle to you as soon as possible. During the repair process, we're only a phone call away if you have any questions. Once we've completed the job, we'll get in touch to arrange a pickup time.

Caring For Your Car After Repairs

We want your newly repaired car to look its best for years to come. As a newly repaired car's paintwork is more prone to damage, you need to take extra care with it, especially in the first 30 days. Try to park your car in a garage or parking shelter to avoid exposure to the elements. If you don't have access to a shelter at home, you might leave your vehicle with a trusted friend or family member.

Driving

Stay off dirt and gravel roads because loose gravel could chip your paint. Avoid parking under trees or utility lines to minimize the risk of sap and bird droppings falling onto your vehicle. Take care with chemicals around your vehicle and avoid spilling any oil, gasoline, or other car fluids on the paintwork.

Washing

We recommend keeping soap and water away from your car for the first two weeks after repairs. For the next two weeks, you can wash your vehicle by hand with cool water and a mild washing solution. We don't recommend visiting commercial car washes for the first 30 days. Make sure you use a soft cloth or sponge and clean water to avoid scratches. Choose a shady location, such as your garage, to reduce spotting. We advise that you don't dry wipe your vehicle within the first 30 days because this could scratch the finish.

Waxing and Polishing

The finish will take around 90 days to dry and harden completely. After this time, start waxing and polishing your vehicle every two or three weeks for a few months to restore its shine. You can then reduce your waxing and polishing routine to every four to six weeks, depending on whether you garage your vehicle or drive in wet weather.
