Understanding the Collision Repair Process: Estimate to Finish

What happens after you drop off your vehicle? Speedeezz walks through each collision repair stage from estimate to pickup.

Collision repair feels overwhelming when you have never been through it before.

Knowing each stage helps you plan rental cars, insurance, and pickup timing.

Speedeezz Auto Finish explains our process from estimate to finish.

Step 1: Estimate and authorization

Start with photos by text or an in-person inspection at our Fowler St shop.

We itemize parts, labor, paint, and structural work on your estimate.

Insurance claims need carrier approval before repairs begin.

Step 2: Disassembly and supplements

Hidden damage behind bumpers or panels may appear during teardown.

Supplements are documented with photos for adjuster review.

We never proceed without your authorization on out-of-pocket items.

Step 3: Structural and body repair

Frame and unibody measurements guide structural pulls and replacements.

See frame straightening Fort Myers for major impact work.

Panel replacement and welding follow OEM procedures.

Step 4: Paint and reassembly

Color match, primer, base, and clear coat restore factory appearance.

Trim, sensors, and lighting are reinstalled and tested.

Final detail and quality check happen before you arrive.

Step 5: Pickup and follow-up

We review the repair with you and explain any warranty coverage.

Text us if you notice anything after pickup — we stand behind our work.
