Archie's Collision Center

Repair Process

Had a Collision? Here's What to Expect:

01
First Steps

Reach out to your insurance provider. Then, give us a call, stop by, or schedule your appointment online—whatever’s easiest for you.

02
Estimate & Getting Started

We’ll prepare an initial estimate for your repairs. Your insurance company will review and approve it.

03
Stay in the Loop

Share your contact info and choose how you’d like to receive updates—by phone, email, or text.

04
Disassembly & Damage Check

We’ll take your vehicle apart to uncover all damage. If anything new comes up, we’ll work with you and your insurance company for approval.

05
Repairs Begin

Once everything’s approved, we’ll get to work. We’ll keep you posted on the estimated completion date.

06
Repair Work

All repairs follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines. We’ll also perform a thorough first quality check.

07
Paint & Finish

We smooth and sand the surface, then apply primer, paint, and clear coat. Another quality inspection ensures everything looks great.

08
Reassembly & Final Touches

Your vehicle is carefully reassembled, and we’ll send a reminder when it’s ready for pickup.
