Accidents do happen, but no one wants to be a part of one. The most important thing is that both you and anyone riding with you are safe, but you also want to be sure your vehicle gets back to working order quickly: and for that, you need a quality collision repair. The technicians, technology, and parts at your Buick GMC dealer can restore your vehicle to its original state. Below we explain how Buick repair works for drivers unfamiliar with the process.

How to Get a Quality Collision Repair: Visit Your GMC Dealer

Arrival and Check-in

Our repair center is a safe place to come if you’re shaken up by the experience of being in an accident. Once you’re relaxed, we’ll ensure we have all of your car’s details so we can check it in. Also, we will need the details of your insurance company if they will arrange for the repair. As soon as we receive the information, we can take you home, and you can relax knowing your vehicle will be taken care of.

We will visually inspect your car while you are in our offices. To determine if damage needs to be repaired, our technicians will examine the damage carefully and critically. A complete visual inspection is accompanied by a careful report on what needs to be done to fix your car.

Disassembly

Following the visual inspection of your vehicle, it will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt or debris. It will be easier to determine the degree of damage after this washing. After that, the damaged parts will be removed. The car’s structural integrity will be carefully examined. Using paint details collected by our paint team, we can match your GMC or Buick’s color perfectly.

We will send you or your insurance company a detailed breakdown of the repairs and their cost. We will also work with your insurance company to expedite the process.

Repairs

Upon receiving approval from either you or your insurance company, we will assemble the necessary replacement parts. A time estimate for the completion of the repairs will be provided to you and you will be kept informed of the work progress. Any damage to the body of your car will be repaired by our technicians and corrosion protection will be applied.

Painting

This stage involves assembling all the parts that need to be painted and preparing the parts and the vehicle for painting. Using the right color will allow the new parts to blend seamlessly. All parts and sections of your car requiring it will receive a basecoat and clear coat application.

Reassembly

Your car will be equipped with the new parts it needs. Upon completion of your car’s assembly and testing, our quality control team will inspect it to verify that all repairs have been completed to GMC Buick standards.

Collecting Your Buick Repair From the Dealer

When your car has passed quality control, we will contact you to notify you that it is ready to be picked up. As soon as you approve the work and confirm your satisfaction, your car will be ready to drive away!
