How Long Will My Auto Body Repairs Take?

If your vehicle requires auto body repairs, one of the first questions you’ll likely have is: “How long will this take?”

The answer depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, parts availability, insurance approval and the repair shop’s workload.  

On the other hand, significant damage from a collision may require a week or more to address, as it might involve replacing panels, aligning the frame, or addressing mechanical issues. 

If your repair involves replacing parts, the time required will depend on whether those parts are readily available.  

If your repairs are covered by insurance, the approval process can sometimes delay the start of work. Coordination between the shop and your insurance provider is key. 

When choosing a repair shop make sure it is a reputable shop that will keep you updated by regularly checking in with you and if working with insurance, ensure all necessary details are provided upfront.
