After evaluating the damages to your vehicle, your insurance company has the option of repairing your vehicle, replacing your vehicle, or reimbursing you for the vehicles actual cash value (ACV). Actual cash value is the amount your vehicle would have sold for on the date of the accident. A vehicle is considered economically impractical to repair, or a total loss, if the cost to repair the vehicle equals or exceeds the vehicles ACV on the date of the loss. In many instances an insurance company will total a vehicle if the appraised damages equal 80% of the vehicles ACV because often, once repairs are begun, additional damages or hidden damages are found which would render the vehicle a total loss by definition. This is sometimes referred to as a constructive total loss. Wondering about your deductible? When you bought your policy, you chose a deductible for your physical damage coverage.

The frame or unibody of your vehicle is comparable to the foundation of your home. It must be strong and precise before anything can be built or repaired around it. Metal repair and replacement is an extremely critical phase. We strive to use original replacement parts and factory approved repair procedures. All necessary corrosion protection procedures are used to meet or exceed factory corrosion warranties. Years ago, all cars, trucks, and vans were built on frames. The body rested on the frame, just as a horse-drawn carriage rested on a frame. In the 1920's and 30's, automakers began to think about eliminating the frame, to save weight and thus improve gas mileage. In the early 1940's, manufacturers in the United States began to mass-produce cars that had no frames. This 'unibody' manufacturing technique later became the standard way to make cars, although many trucks made today still employ a frame. Body work consists of working with and repairing automobile, car, van and SUV body panels and other exterior body parts. These include bumpers, hoods, tops, and grilles. The skilled work uses many unique tools, and all kinds of equipment and techniques to do the job. View our 'Before and After' Gallery to see some of our recent repairs.
