Following an accident, a vehicle need to be repaired. Your insurance company may possibly ask you to get two or three estimates for the repair or the insurance company may possibly attempt to tell you what body shop to take your car to. (Note: just simply because an insurance company recommends a particular body shop does not mean that you're obligated to use that shop.)
Repairs to the body as well as the paint of a car can be extremely pricey. The folks who work inside the paint and body shops are skilled. Returning a car that has been damaged to its original condition is no tiny matter, and these paint and body repair people don't have magic wands. Mostly they use their skill and muscles to repair damaged cars and trucks.
Amazingly sufficient, cars that look actually bad right after an accident could be repaired. Frames may be straightened, and parts can be repaired or replaced. The vehicle could be repaired and repainted so nicely that you cannot tell that it has ever been in an accident.
Occasionally people will take their cars and trucks to paint and body shops to have them repainted so that they'll look new, and not simply because the vehicles have been involved in an accident. They just want the little nicks and dings removed and the color renewed. A little piece of advice: once you have a vehicle repainted, it is much much better to have it repainted the exact same color as it was originally. The reason is that changing the color of the paint on a car entails a great deal more work and will likely be a lot a lot more costly.
When the time comes, for whatever reason, that you must take your car to a paint and body repair shop, be certain that the shop has an excellent reputation and that it is insured and bonded.
