Collision repair refers to the process of repairing and restoring a motor vehicle that has been damaged in an accident or collision. This type of repair work is typically performed by auto body shops and technicians who specialize in repairing damage to the vehicle's body, frame, and various components.

Collision repair encompasses a wide range of tasks, depending on the extent of the damage. These tasks may include:

Assessment and Estimation: The first step is to assess the damage and provide an estimate for the cost of repairs. This involves identifying visible and hidden damage and determining the parts and labor required for the restoration.
Body Repair: Repairing damage to the vehicle's body, including straightening and reshaping panels, welding, and applying body filler to smooth out dents and dings.
Frame Straightening: If the vehicle's frame is bent or damaged, it must be straightened to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity and safety.
Painting and Refinishing: This involves preparing the vehicle's surface, applying primer, paint, and clear coat, and color-matching to ensure a seamless finish.
Replacement of Parts: Damaged parts that cannot be repaired are replaced with new or refurbished components. This includes items like bumpers, fenders, lights, and trim.
Mechanical Repairs: If the collision has caused damage to the vehicle's mechanical systems (e.g., suspension, alignment, steering), those components may also be repaired or replaced.
Quality Control and Testing: After repairs are completed, the vehicle undergoes quality control checks and testing to ensure that it is safe to drive and that all systems are functioning properly.
Final Detailing: The vehicle is thoroughly cleaned and detailed to return it to its pre-accident condition.

Collision repair is essential not only for cosmetic reasons but also for ensuring the safety and functionality of the vehicle. Skilled technicians use a combination of tools, equipment, and expertise to bring damaged vehicles back to roadworthy condition. This process is often facilitated by insurance companies, particularly when the damage is covered by an insurance policy.
