QUESTION:
If a roll of sheet steel can be made into a string of new automobiles, why can't a crashed automobile be restored completely without defects?
ANSWER:
It can. It's a matter of carefully choosing the restoration facility. Don't decide based on one referral. Get a second, third and fourth opinion if your automobile really matter to you. Ask around.
Don't assume that someone who does beautiful custom paintwork can untangle and restore a “crashed” car. Don't choose your facility based on the design of their building or their landscaping. A charming salesperson may be reassuring but who is in the back room to reassemble your automobile? Find out who is in the back room and how they qualify to bet intimate with your automobile. Do they have and use the equipment, tools, and materials recommended by the auto manufacturer? Do they “specialize” in every make of car, and trucks too? Ask around.
What do you do if your automobile shows signs of repair work? Well, it's either going to cost you when you sell or trade, or you charge your loss in value to the repairer or insurance company or both of them. We can estimate the cost to correct the problems of prior repairs so that you can pursue recovering the loss in value of your automobile. You do not have to accept diminished value. Ask around.
One more thing to be aware of: the next owner of your automobile may hold you responsible for any repair work that you have had done. Selling or trading your problem can bring you a bigger problem.
