We often get asked how long it will take to fix a customer’s vehicle. It is always a case by case issue. Our commitment to excellence and lifetime guarantee ensures that your vehicle is fixed to maximum efficiency. Depending on the severity of your vehicle’s issue depends on the time it will take to repair. It is never a “one size fits all” solution.

The goal is safety and quality. Doing things to simply “get it done quickly” will often lead to sloppy work. That’s not how we do things at Providence Auto Body.

These are some of the factors that influence the amount of time required to repair your vehicle:

WEATHER
Hot and cold temperatures affect the way paint dries and cures. Time must also be allowed for solvents to escape.

REINSPECTIONS
If hidden damage is discovered while repairs are being performed, we must stop, notify the insurance company and wait until their adjuster has had an opportunity to inspect the damage.

PREVIOUS REPAIRS
If your vehicle was previously repaired in the same general area, it is often necessary to correct the old repairs in order to guarantee the work we perform.

COLOR MATCH
All colors are slightly different. Even a new vehicle will require color tinting. Our technicians often take two or more hours to arrive at the correct color match.

PARTS
The repairs will be delayed if hidden damage requires additional parts, or if the factory is unable to send us the part, causing it to be placed on back order.

REASSEMBLY
We take great pains to prevent over spray and future paint peeling. All parts are removed from areas to be painted and blended. Our technicians reinstall these parts during the reassembly process. These steps require care and time, but are necessary to protect your vehicle’s resale value and bring it to pre-accident condition.

WARRANTY:
All repairs performed by Providence Auto Body Inc. are GUARANTEED for as long as you own your vehicle. We realize it inconvenient to be without your vehicle. We promise to return your vehicle to you as quickly as possible without compromising the quality of repairs in order to meet a target date.

Providence Auto Body looks forward to delivering your vehicle to you in top condition after your service with us.
