Collision Services

Factory paint finishes are comprised of multiple layers of specialized paints. The technicians who manage the paint process at the Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Collision Center are true craftsmen - which is what it takes to be able to match texture, gloss, and hue with today's paint.

Once your vehicle has been repaired and painted, it's off to the final stage of the repair process - detailing. Whether your vehicle requires major rebuilding or minor repair, it is thoroughly cleaned and inspected inside and out.

Some insurance companies may ask you to visit a drive-in claims center before having your vehicle repaired. Although you can do this, you can just as easily leave your car at the Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Collision Center and ask that the insurance company inspect the vehicle here. We'll arrange for on-site inspection by your insurance company.

Differences in repair estimates are common. Keep in mind that lower estimates may not include all the necessary work. Some collision repair facilities may underbid repair work simply by overlooking details. The Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Collision Center works with your insurance company to give you a complete, detailed appraisal for top-notch service at a fair price. 

Initially only a preliminary estimate can be written until a thorough and meticulous disassembly has been done.  

Only once a vehicle has been disassembled can an estimate be written that reflects all damages and even then upon a final test drives issues can be found.  We use the latest technology and training to get the most accurate estimate possible.

Before you sign anything to authorize repairs, be sure that your insurance company will cover the cost of repairing all accident damages. 

In choosing a quality collision center, you should ask to see examples of their work. The Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Collision Center has GM certified technicians and the best equipment, and we'd be glad to show you our facilities and examples of work - either in progress or completed - so you can see for yourself.

If you'd like, we'd be more than happy to help you with the negotiations of your claim with the insurance company.

Before you have your vehicle repaired, here are two important factors to remember:

1. You decide on the collision repair facility.

2. Only you can authorize repairs on your vehicle.

In order to have you as a customer for life, we must prove worthy to be your Dealer For Life. One way to do that is by simply making your vehicle repair simple.
