Collision Repair — Guttenberg Auto Body, Guttenberg, NJ

How a collision repair goes at our shop

  1. Scan and free estimate. It starts with a diagnostic scan and a free written estimate.

  2. Hidden damage, written up. Once we open the car up, we often find damage hidden behind the panels, and we document it for your insurer as a supplement so nothing in the repair gets missed.

  3. Frame and panels. From there we straighten the frame and unibody back to factory specifications on computerized measuring equipment, and repair or replace panels.

  4. Paint. We refinish them with computerized color matching that blends into the panels around the repair.

  5. Final checks. Before the car comes back to you we recalibrate any cameras and radar the work disturbed, run a post-repair scan, and finish with a road test and a free detail.

Why you might need it

  • Damage hides. A car can still drive after a crash and hide real damage underneath, so we check the whole car, not just the part you can see.

  • Repair before replace. When the metal is still good we repair a panel instead of replacing it, which keeps the fix safe, clean, and lower in cost.

What it includes

  • A free written estimate on the damage
  • Panel repair, welding, and metal finishing
  • Structural and frame work back to factory specs
  • Paint matched to your car’s exact color code and blended in
  • The insurance paperwork, handled with your company

What to expect

A light hit moves fast. Heavier structural work takes longer. We give you the estimate first, keep your insurance moving, and back the repair with a lifetime warranty.
