How to Choose a Auto Body Shop When You Have Been Involved in an Accident – Valuable Information
When you have had the unfortunate event of being in a automotive collision, the last thing you need is to have a bad experience with an auto body shop not doing their job. A good auto body shop will fix your car back to pre-loss condition, both in appearance and in structural and mechanical integrity. A great auto body shop will almost make you feel like the accident never happened. They should start with customer service better then you get at a good restaurant. They should ask if everyone was OK after the accident, generally, they should be more interested in your needs and concerns then their own profit margins. The sad thing is there are many body shops that are just in it for a quick buck and do not have the customer skills or even the repair skills to do the job you, or your insurance company, is paying for. So how do you weed those shops out?
I have been in this industry for over 25 years in the same area, I have worked in high quality auto body shops large and small, and have owned my own collision and custom shop in Portland Oregon for the last 8 years. In my area there are hundreds of auto body repair shops in a very small area, yet I only know a few I would trust with my vehicles. So for the most part you have to be as informed as you can, and ask alot of questions.

Hybrid Paintless Dent Removal
How PDR Reduces Chemical Output
Paintless dent removal works with your car’s existing materials to remove unsightly dents caused by minor accidents and impacts. Using specialty, reusable tools, the dent repair specialist is able to “massage” the dent so that it returns to its original shape. Because the process is very gentle, the factory paint is left intact, leaving no cracking, chipping, or any other evidence that damage occurred at the site.
Traditional auto body repair that relies on other methods can include everything from touch-up paint and body fillers to sanders – all of which leave a chemical residue both in the air and on the ground. While most auto body shops are responsible in their disposal of these types of chemicals, it is impossible for them to keep all the fumes contained or to avoid using chemical products which must then be replaced.
