Initial Services – Creating a Convenient Experience

We start the collision repair process by providing you with many unique services that other repair centers don’t, such as a FREE loaner car and FREE pick-up and delivery. We encourage you to take full advantage of these valuable benefits.

The next step is for us to work with your insurance company, if needed. At American Auto Body, we have the ability to handle insurance claims electronically, from itemized documentation to digital imaging. We make every effort to provide your insurance company with all of the information they need to pay your insurance claim quickly and fairly. We know your rights when it comes to car insurance claims in the state of Minnesota, and we will happily answer any questions you may have. One common misconception pertains to estimates: Minnesota law only requires you to get one damage estimate, and that estimate can be done at the shop of your choice. For your convenience, American Auto Body may request that the insurance company inspect your vehicle at our repair center instead of bringing it to their claims office. Note that it’s common for estimates to differ. If one estimate is lower, it may not include all necessary procedures.

If you are not using insurance to pay for your repairs, you can rest assured that we will listen carefully to your needs and make recommendations that will stretch every dollar you spend go as far as it can go! Our American Auto Body professionals will thoroughly cover all of your questions regarding the estimate and repair process and be sure you fully understand both before and during the repair process.

At this point the damages to your vehicle will be evaluated by our highly trained technicians, and they will recommend the best possible repair process, being careful to document every dent to be sure the final repair bill reflects all the work that was performed. Once we’ve explained our recommended course of action and you’ve given it your approval, we’ll start the actual repair process.

Blueprinting – Evaluating Each Vehicle

We evaluate each vehicle using a blueprinting process – a highly technical and detailed process. We start with creating a full, electronic blueprint of your car. As we disassemble the car, the blueprint gets more and more detailed, giving us a clear picture of what it’s going to take to fix your car. The completed blueprint helps us create a repair plan. Each repair plan needs to be extremely detailed and will include the insurance claim file if there is one. We include written and photo documentation, specific processes for which parts should be replaced versus repaired, and we will explain each detail so you fully understand.

It is valuable to know all of this information before we start repairs because it eliminates a lot of the unknown variables that may cause issues while we’re working on your car. The blueprinting process creates a very clear picture of the whole repair process and makes the whole repair experience efficient, higher quality, and easier for everyone involved. We take full advantage of advancing technology so we can do things better and faster than ever before!
