Factors that influence how long collision repairs take

More extensive damage, on the other hand, is obviously going to require more time to repair. When your vehicle has been in a major accident, we may need to coordinate with the vehicle manufacturer to secure the proper factory-original parts. And if you have a rare or older car, it can add to the wait times to complete collision repair. 

Underlying damage

During the repair process, our collision repair specialists may discover further damage. If the underlying damage is significant, expect a lengthier process.
