area the vehicle is inspected, and relevant data is entered into a
damage report that determines initial cost repairs. Additionally, there
is often hidden damage that can not be seen until after the vehicle is
disassembled. |

completed, the insurance company review's it. The insurance company
determines if the vehicle is repairable. Then the vehicle begins the

refinishing, then primed and sealed to assure good adhesion when the
final top color and clear coats of refinish are applied. |

the vehicle in the reassembly area. All the vehicle's systems are
checked during this process. The vehicle is almost complete and ready
for delivery when it is in this stage. |

dust from the repairs which will be thoroughly cleaned. It will also be
