A poorly repaired frame, a missed airbag reset, or an overlooked suspension issue can put you and others at risk, which is why shops that handle full collision repair services should walk you through what was repaired.

Avoiding Hassles Later It\u2019s much easier to point out issues while your car is still at the shop. Network Auto Body will correct problems immediately, but once you leave, it becomes a second trip and more time out of your day. Step 1: Inspect the Exterior Body Panels and Paint Take a slow walk around your car and look at every repaired area: Check for color consistency. The paint should match the rest of the vehicle, even in bright sunlight. Look for smooth, even finishes. There shouldn\u2019t be any rough spots, overspray, or drips. Inspect the panel gaps. Doors, hood, and trunk should line up evenly and close with a solid \u201cclick.\u201d Uneven gaps can signal misaligned panels or frame issues. Lights and Lenses Test your headlights, turn signals, brake lights, and fog lights. Make sure they: Turn on and off properly Are securely mounted Don\u2019t have condensation or cracks Glass and Mirrors Look at your windshield, windows, and mirrors for cracks, scratches, or distortion. If glass was replaced, check that it\u2019s properly sealed and doesn\u2019t whistle when you drive. Step 2: Mechanical and Safety System Check Frame and Alignment Ask if the shop performed a computerized frame measurement. Then do your own quick check, especially if any frame straightening or structural work was involved: Drive straight in the parking lot and see if the steering wheel stays centered. If the car pulls to one side, the alignment may still be off, and you can compare symptoms to common alignment timing in when is it time for a wheel alignment. Suspension and Tires Look under the car (or have the tech show you) to make sure nothing is bent or leaking. Check that your tires are inflated evenly and aren\u2019t showing unusual wear patterns. Safety Systems Modern cars have tons of safety tech that must be recalibrated after a collision: Lane-keep assist Blind-spot monitoring Backup cameras and parking sensors Forward collision warning Ask the shop to confirm they performed a calibration, and test these systems before leaving, especially if your repairs included advanced tech areas covered in certifications. Step 3: Inspect the Interior Sit inside and do a quick scan: Dashboard lights: Turn on the ignition. No warning lights should stay on (airbag, ABS, check engine). Seats and trim: Everything should be reinstalled securely, with no loose panels or rattles. Electronics: Test your A\/C, heater, radio, power windows, and seat adjustments. Step 4: Take a Test Drive If possible, take a short drive with a technician or service advisor. During the test drive: Listen for rattles, squeaks, or grinding noises. Test the brakes for smooth stopping (no pulling or vibrations). Accelerate and check for hesitation or unusual engine behavior. Drive over a small bump \u2014 does the car feel stable or overly bouncy? Trust your instincts. If something feels off, mention it before you leave. Step 5: Review the Paperwork Before signing off on the repair: Ask for a detailed invoice that lists labor, parts used (OEM, aftermarket), and paint work performed. Confirm warranty coverage. Network Auto Body offers a warranty on paint, parts, and labor. Request before-and-after photos if available. They\u2019re great for your records, especially if you sell the car later.
