Questions to Ask Yourself when Choosing a Collision Center
When choosing a collision center, you want the best service that money can buy. Collision centers that know what they’re doing are worth their weight in gold. After the work is completed, you’ll receive a car that looks just like it did before you sent it in.
However, these fixes are permanent. If they aren’t done right, you could be stuck with an eyesore, a repair job that needs repairing, or worse. So how do you know which collision center to choose? While shopping for the right place, ask yourself a few important questions:
What is the collision center’s reputation?
Every business can spend money on marketing or claim that they are the best in town. The voices of the customers, though, can tell you whether or not these claims are true. Pay attention to the company’s track record by reading testimonials, online reviews, and social media feedback. At Brandon Collision, we’re proud of our customer testimonials. Take some time to check them out.
What services do they offer?
Not all car accidents need the same type of work. A scratch may be a standard job for most collision centers, but other accidents require more in-depth expertise. Ask yourself if your car may require specialties such as:
- Car Body Frame Repair
- Spray-In Bedliner Repair
- Bumper Damage Repair
- Aluminum Body Repair
- Repainting and Refinishing
- Scratch Repair
Then research the repair center to find out if they are trained in that specialty. Take a moment to understand the services that Brandon Collision offers.
What quality of products do they use?
A better quality product, of course, results in a better quality repair. High-end paints last longer and look more natural. Standox Paint, for instance, is the same quality of paint that is used by the world’s leading carmakers. When you use that level of paint product on your repair, you can rest assured that it will last as long as your original paint.
How big is the facility?
Size matters. The size of the facility can clue you in to a couple important details about the quality of the company’s work. First, the bigger the facility, the better. A large facility tells you that the company is very successful. To become big and successful, you need to have a long history of satisfied customers.
Here at Brandon Collision, for instance, we have the country’s biggest, cleanest facility. Our success is a testament to the quality of service that we continue to provide to customers throughout Tampa and Florida.
Also, the more repair spaces that are available, the faster the turnaround. You don’t want to wait in line for weeks to get your car back.
How well are the staff trained?
Often, collision centers don’t tell you about their staff’s abilities. Some repair workers learn on the job, but there is no way to know what that training covers, how accomplished the technicians are, or even how skilled the trainers are.
At Brandon Collision, our technicians are all I-CAR certified, which ensures that they are up-to-date on the latest skills and techniques. Only a small number of collision repair centers offer this level of assurance to their customers.
Whether you need a scratch fixed or whether you need body frame repair, Brandon Collision Center is the first choice for anyone in and around Tampa, FL. To schedule damage repair for your car or truck, call 813-327-6632 today.
