What Happens to Your Car After a Collision?


After a car accident, some damage is easy to see. A dented bumper, broken headlight, or damaged door may be obvious, but collisions can also cause damage beneath the surface.
Understanding what happens during the repair process can help you know what to expect and why a professional collision inspection matters.
Collision Damage Isn't Always Visible
A vehicle can look like it only has cosmetic damage while still having problems with the frame, suspension, steering, or other components.
That’s why a proper inspection is an important first step after a collision. At JW’s Collision Center, vehicles are assessed to determine the repairs needed, from minor damage to more extensive structural work.
What Does Collision Repair Include?
The repairs your vehicle needs will depend on the type and severity of the accident. JW’s Collision Center provides:
Collision repair for minor and major accident damage
Auto body repair and paint with computerized color matching
Paintless dent repair for appropriate dents and hail damage
Frame and suspension repair, including frame testing and straightening

Towing to get your vehicle to the shop when needed
Why Professional Repairs Matter
Collision repair isn't just about making a vehicle look good again. Proper repairs help restore the vehicle to the condition it was in before the accident.
At JW’s, repairs are performed with attention to both the visible damage and the components underneath. The shop also keeps customers updated throughout the repair process.
