Frequently Asked Questions

Can body damage be diagnosed from photos?

Photos can show the general location and severity, but hidden damage, mounting problems, material condition, and finish requirements may only be clear during an in-person inspection.

Does every dent require panel replacement?

No. Dent depth, creasing, stretched metal, access, corrosion, and paint condition determine whether repair is practical or panel work is more appropriate.

Can damaged mirrors, windows, or windshields affect safety?

Yes. Visibility, weather sealing, mounting, and broken glass can affect safe operation. The affected component should be evaluated before the truck returns to service.

Can every collision or structural repair be completed in-house?

The shop must inspect the damage before confirming scope. Frame, cab, structural, specialized body, or extensive finish work may require additional evaluation or another specialist.

What information helps when requesting body repair?

Provide the truck year, make, model, body type, clear photos from several angles, how the damage occurred, what components still work, and whether the truck can be driven safely.
