Collision Repairs 101: An Insider’s Guide from Kingston Collision

Every driver hopes to never need collision repairs, but it's a fact of life that accidents happen. When they do, you need to know what to expect. At Kingston Collision, we understand the stress and anxiety that can accompany this unfortunate event, which is why we've put together this comprehensive insider's guide to collision repairs.


Understanding Collision Repairs


Collision repair is a comprehensive service that combines several auto body repairs to restore your vehicle to its pre-accident state. This process might involve repairing significant structural damage, fixing dents and scratches, or repainting your vehicle.


At Kingston Collision, we're equipped with cutting-edge technology and have a team of experienced technicians to ensure your vehicle is repaired to the highest standard.


Assessment and Estimation


The first step in collision repairs is damage assessment. Our team will thoroughly inspect your vehicle to understand the extent of the damage. From there, we'll provide an estimate for repairs. Remember, this is only an estimate, as hidden damage often reveals itself during repairs.


We believe in transparency at Kingston Collision, so we'll take you through the estimate, explaining each line so you fully understand the costs involved. We'll also liaise with your insurance provider to ensure a hassle-free repair experience.


The Art of Dent Repair


Once the assessment is done, we proceed to fix the damages. One common repair following a collision is dent repair. Dents can be minor, like those from a hail storm, or major, like those caused by an accident.


Our skilled technicians use innovative paintless dent repair techniques for minor dents, eliminating the need for a full paint job. This method is both time-saving and cost-effective. For major dents, we perform traditional dent repair, ensuring your car looks as good as new.


Matching Your Vehicle’s Paint


A collision often results in the need for a new paint job. Color matching can be tricky, but at Kingston Collision, we use advanced waterborne paint technology to create a seamless color match for all makes and models.


We guarantee a remarkable finish that not only beautifies your vehicle but also protects its exterior from elements such as UV rays and harsh weather.


Plan for the Unexpected with 24-hour Towing


Accidents can occur at any time of the day or night. We're committed to getting your vehicle to our collision center safely, regardless of when the accident happens. Simply call 613-389-2777 and our preferred tow company will take care of the rest.


Lifetime Warranty for Peace of Mind


At Kingston Collision, we stand behind the quality of our work, which is why we offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all services for as long as you own your vehicle. This goes beyond industry standards and showcases our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.


Wrapping Up


Navigating through collision repairs can be stressful, but with the right team by your side, it doesn’t have to be. At Kingston Collision, we strive to make the repair process as smooth and stress-free as possible, treating your car as if it’s our own.


From the initial assessment through to the final detailing, we dedicate ourselves to quality workmanship and outstanding customer service. With us, your vehicle is in safe and capable hands.
