*Tier 3*
* * This is our least expensive standard for vehicle repair. This is how most of the better discount collision repair facilities fix vehicles. This is also the repair tier many of the discount insurance companies are willing to pay. There are lower standards of repair, but Express Autobody is unwilling to perform them. This tier is generally recommended for vehicles over 6 years old and/ or vehicles worth less than $10,000.
1) All repairs and procedures to be performed by trained, certified
technicians
2) Use of undamaged recycled parts or aftermarket parts when possible.
3) Roping and careful masking of any non-flush mounted glass.
4) Covering any exposed interior components with plastic.
5) Paint blending panels adjacent to the repaired area only if
necessary to accomplish a color match.
6) Use of epoxy primers and substrate sealers on all replacement or
repaired panels.
7) Use of top quality urethane paints cured with our hot air makeup
system.
8) Use of the variance decks on the basecoat or color coat to
insure an exact color match.
9) Use of the proper clear topcoat so as to exactly the previous
finish.
10) Careful masking of wheelhouse panels, wheelhouses, jams, and any
interior panels exposed to possible paint overspray.
11) Use of liquid mask to protect any surfaces not being repaired.
12) Clear coating any cut-ins to match OEM appearances.
13) Restoration of all corrosion resistant materials.
14) Restoration of all textured substrates.
15) Use of our TVA measuring system or our Touch measurement system on
any full frame vehicles with frame misalignment or on any unibody
vehicles with any structural damage.
16) Use of a Frame rack or floor system to correct any frame damage or
unibody misalignment.
17) Replacement of any damaged suspension components, mechanical
components, or restraint systems by a trained, certified mechanic.
18) Full clean up and detail before delivery.
19) Use of our comprehensive quality control checklist.
Again, these procedures may be mixed or matched to suit the desires and
needs of our customers. Customers receiving a comprehensive damage
report will get a cost assessment based on the tier we fell is
appropriate for their vehicle, as well as a cost assessment on the next
tier we believe they may wish to consider.
