Collision Repair in Montréal — From Damage Assessment to Refinishing
Even a low-speed collision can affect more than the surface of a bumper. At 24K Auto Québec Inc. in Dorval, we help Montréal-area drivers understand what is damaged, which repairs are appropriate and what may need specialist inspection.
Common collision damage
We assess front and rear bumper damage, fenders, doors, hoods, quarter panels, paint damage and visible alignment problems. Impacts sometimes damage mounting brackets, inner components or other parts that cannot be confirmed from photographs alone.
Our repair-planning process
- Book and review: choose an in-person estimate time online and bring the vehicle to our Dorval workshop to document the impact location, visible damage and your priorities.
- Inspection: check affected panels, gaps, mounting points and possible hidden damage.
- Estimate: explain expected operations, parts considerations, time and any possible supplements.
- Repair and finish: follow the agreed plan for metal or plastic repair, surface preparation, paint and reassembly.
- Review: examine finish quality, fit and any remaining issues requiring attention.
Damage beneath the paint
A scratch may require only refinishing, while a creased panel may need repair or replacement. Modern vehicles also include driver-assistance systems; a collision or component removal may trigger manufacturer-prescribed diagnostics or calibration. These requirements are determined by the vehicle and work performed, not by how small the impact appears.
Insurance-assisted repairs
If you intend to make a claim, contact your insurer to establish the correct process and deductible. We can discuss bodywork estimates and supporting documentation. We cannot promise that a particular insurer will approve a claim or waive a deductible.
Car accident repair near Montréal — what comes after a collision?
After a traffic collision, prioritize safety and determine whether the vehicle can be moved or needs a tow. A bumper that looks lightly scratched may conceal damaged mounting components, while a severe door or quarter-panel impact may require checks beyond visible bodywork.
Our shop discusses the repair scope for body panels, bumpers, dented metal and automotive paint, then advises which vehicle-specific procedures or specialist diagnostics need confirmation. We do not promise that every structural or electronic repair can be completed in-house.
What about insurance claims and estimates?
The insurer decides policy coverage, deductibles and claim approvals. We offer a free verbal estimate of visible bodywork damage when you bring your vehicle to our Dorval shop. If a fee applies to a written estimate or in-depth inspection, we tell you the exact amount before preparing the estimate or performing the inspection. Photos can support documentation for an existing insurance claim, but do not replace an in-person vehicle assessment or produce a remote repair price. A repair plan is finalized after adequate assessment of the vehicle.
What does completed collision bodywork look like?
See our original before-and-after portfolio: a side-damaged silver SUV, a Mercedes bumper and a Nissan front end. The examples illustrate the exterior finish achieved on those particular customer vehicles, not a universal safety or repair-time guarantee.
