Question

How long does collision repair take?

The duration of the collision repair depends on the damage your vehicle has sustained. Typically, for minor fixes, it may take one to five days. For major repairs, the turnaround time is somewhere between several weeks and months.

When it comes to collision repair, several factors affect the timeline, such as:

• Severity of the damage: An extreme collision significantly increases the repair time.
• Availability of parts: Certain components, like original equipment or specialized parts, require ordering and shipping. This extends the repair process.
• Insurance approval: If your vehicle is insured, then waiting for an inspection and approval can lead to delays.
• Workload of the shop: A backlog at the auto body repair shop or collision center can delay your vehicle’s repair start time.

When taking your car for repair, we strongly advise you to get a specific estimate. So, you can plan for alternatives wherever necessary.
