01 / INSPECT & DIAGNOSE
Mechanical parts
Look closely. Find the cause.
Brake concerns start with your description of the noise, vibration or change in stopping performance. Our technicians review the components involved and explain what needs attention before repair decisions are made.
Inspect the components
Review accessible pads, discs, calipers and related hardware for visible wear, damage or leaks. Measurements and further testing depend on the concern.
Explain the findings
Discuss the condition found, recommended work and any further diagnosis needed.
Confirm the repair plan
Provide an estimate and request your authorization before additional work or costs.

02 / DOCUMENT & PLAN
Damage assessment
Understand the damage. Explain the options.
A collision assessment begins with the affected panels and your account of the incident. We review the visible damage and explain when a closer inspection may be needed to understand what is underneath.
Review the affected area
Look at damaged panels, paint, trim and visible panel gaps; document the areas requiring attention.
Identify the next checks
Explain any disassembly or specialist assessment needed to evaluate concealed damage. Hidden damage can change the estimate.
Keep you in the decision
Share the proposed repair approach. Any newly identified work or additional cost is submitted for your authorization.

03 / PREPARE & FINISH
Refinishing & finish care
Care in the preparation. Attention in the finish.
Surface condition determines the next step: paint correction, localized touch-up or a refinishing assessment. Our technicians explain the suitable approach and the finish expectations for your vehicle.
Assess the surface
Review scratches, chips, oxidation and existing paint condition to determine the appropriate service.
Prepare for the agreed work
Plan cleaning, masking, surface preparation and paint matching where refinishing is appropriate.
Review the result together
Inspect the serviced area and explain relevant aftercare. Deep damage may require repair or refinishing rather than polishing.
