It's frustrating when your car ends up in an auto body shop. You have to figure out how to get a car rental (more than likely a car that isn't comparable to what you own) or find some other way to get around, go to work or run your errands. Add to that the uncertainty of how long the repair process will take, and it can be downright stressful.
Why Does It Take So Long?
Auto body repair is a meticulous process that requires precision and attention to detail. There is a lot happening just behind the body panels. Here are a few reasons why your car might be taking longer than expected:
Complex Damage:
Hidden Damage:
Sometimes, damage isn't immediately apparent. Technicians need to remove the bumpers and exterior panels and inspect every part of your vehicle to uncover hidden issues.
Structural Damage:
If your car has sustained significant structural damage, repairs can be more time-consuming as they require a trip onto the frame machine to bring the frame back to specification using specialized techniques and parts.
Part Availability:
Backorders and Shortages: Unfortunately, supply chain issues can lead to delays in obtaining specific parts, especially for newer or less common vehicle models.
Paint Matching:
Achieving a Perfect Match: To ensure a flawless finish, technicians must carefully match the paint color to your vehicle's original hue. This process can be time-consuming, especially for custom or unique colors.
