Post-Repair Safety Inspection in Yorba Linda

Structural dimensions against published factory specification, which is the check that either passes or does not and cannot be argued about. Laminate integrity by tap testing, which finds filled damage that was never actually repaired. Seam and sealant work at every point that was disturbed. And whether removed components were correctly reinstalled and are functional.

On a collision repair we also look at panel gaps and alignment, because a body that will not line up is usually reporting a structure that was not corrected.

• Structural dimensions measured against factory specification
• Laminate integrity tap tested for filled rather than repaired damage
• Every disturbed seam and sealant point inspected
• Removed components verified correctly reinstalled and functional
• Panel gaps and alignment assessed
• Paint and refinish quality assessed against the substrate beneath

When a repair was substantial and you intend to keep the vehicle. When something has not felt right since the repair. When the vehicle is going to be sold and you want documentation that the repair was correct. Or when the original shop is no longer answering and you want to know what you are dealing with before it becomes urgent.

It is also worth it before a long trip on a vehicle that has had structural work, for reasons that do not need spelling out.

You get a documented report saying so, with measurements. What you do with it is yours to decide, and it is considerably more useful than a verbal opinion.

We will also price what correcting it takes at our posted rates, so you know the scale of the problem rather than just its existence. And if we find the repair was done properly, we document that too, which is worth having on a vehicle you intend to sell.
