The Auto Body Repair Process with Tachoir Autobody
Tachoir Autobody of Pittsburgh can process your claim and begin work on most vehicles within 24hrs or the next business day after your collision. Here’s how the auto body repair process works.
Steps to Prepare for Your Auto Repair
Collisions happen. Whether your automobile has a small dent or more major damage, navigating the collision repair process can be a waiting game if not done properly. Consider these steps as you prepare to navigate the process of repairing your vehicle.
Step 1: Arrange For a Free Auto Body Repair Estimate
Call ahead to schedule your estimate. If it is safe to drive your damaged vehicle to the repair shop, do so. You can also arrange to have your vehicle towed to our location if it is unsafe to drive. Tows can be billed to insurance as part of your accident claim, so contact us if you have any questions or need us to set up the tow. Always remember, Tachoir Auto Body provides an estimate without any fees or obligations!
Step 2: Schedule For Repair
After an initial estimate, if your car is drivable we schedule you in for repairs so that any parts can be ordered ahead of time and checked for damage prior to your arrival. Generally we schedule repairs 1-4 weeks after an initial estimate depending on how busy we are at the time and if there are any backordered parts. We will also set up any transportation plans you may need during our initial estimate including our on site rental car service, free loaner vehicles, or a ride home if needed.
Step 3: Drop off for Repairs
Drop off day has arrived and the parts are ready for your vehicle! You will drop off your vehicle at a scheduled time and your rental or loaner vehicle will be ready and waiting. A few days into the repair you can expect a phone call to explain if we have found any additional hidden damage that might have been underneath parts that had to be disassembled for us to see and assess.
If your expected completion date changes, we will keep you and the rental car agency informed so the process is stress free.
Step 4: Detail and Delivery
Once your car has been repaired, our detailer will ensure the finish is perfect. You’ll meet our technician who will visually inspect your vehicle with you. Being happy with the work, you’ll take delivery and drive off safely, and happily. We will take care of the rental for you.
