THE PROCESS

Initial Contact
From initial contact with customer, arrangements are made for the customer to bring the vehicle in, or for a tow truck if vehicle is not driveable.  Where the insurance company has allowed a rental, one will be provided.  Alternately, we can arrange for a loaner car.  If your vehicle is a total loss (i.e. beyond repair), a loaner car will not be provided by Calgary Coachworks but may be made available by the insurance company at their discretion.

Work Specification
One the vehicle is at the shop, an estimate will be provided by either our shop estimator or the insurance company.  This estimate is then agreed upon by the policy holder, keeping in mind this is just an estimate and does not cover parts price increases or hidden damage.  Some insurance companies today support digital imagery allowing pictures of damage to be sent directly to them, thus increasing the speed of the approval process.

Authorization
Once we have authorization from both the customer and the insurance company (if applicable) we will order parts.  Upon receipt of parts, the vehicle is scheduled into the body shop production.

Refinishing
The most up to date spray booths and top quality polyester and urethane based paints are used resulting in a factory finish and providing a modern, environmentally friendly approachh to refinishing.

Progress Updates
Customers are welcome to drop by the shop or phone to find out the day to day progress of their vehicles.  Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always available to answer any questions that may arise.

Guarantee
We guarantee all workmanship for as long as you own your vehicle against defective material or defective workmanship.  We cannot guarantee against accidents, rust, acid stains, misuse or abuse, chipping or work done or redone by others.
