When you bring your vehicle to our Lafayette LA auto body shop, you’re entrusting it to a team dedicated to precision, transparency and high-quality results. Here’s our proven repair process to get your car back on the road looking great:
1. After the Accident: Immediate Steps
- Report to the police and contact your insurance company if applicable.
- Use our recommended wrecker service if towing is needed.
- Obtain an initial damage estimate and secure the police report.
- You have the right to choose Bobby’s Paint & Body Shop as your repair facility — we accept all insurance.
2. Damage Evaluation & Disassembly
Once your vehicle arrives, we begin by dismantling the damaged area so we can identify any hidden issues. If we discover additional damage, we’ll immediately notify you and provide supporting documentation for insurance.
3. Supplemental Estimate Processing
When new damage is found, a “supplement” may be required. We coordinate with your insurer, provide photos, invoices and parts lists — all to ensure every necessary repair is clearly documented.
4. Repairs & Part Fitting
With full approval and assessment in place, our technicians complete the structural and mechanical repairs. Then we test-fit new body panels and components to ensure perfect alignment before painting.
5. Paint & Finish
Our painting process is done in two phases: first the inside surfaces of panels, then the exterior paint job. This ensures a factory-level finish. After painting, we buff and polish the surface for a smooth, glossy result.
6. Reassembly & Detailing
Once the paint job has cured, we carefully reassemble the vehicle. We hand-wash the exterior and clean the interior. If any suspension or alignment work was done, we perform a test drive to ensure proper handling and steering.
7. Final Inspection & Delivery
Before handing your car back to you, we perform a final quality inspection to confirm every repair meets our high standards. At delivery, you’ll receive documentation of all parts and repairs, along with our limited lifetime warranty on paint and body work.
