When your car needs repairs, whether due to a dent, a mechanical failure, or simply maintenance, it’s normal to feel a little uncertain. You want to be sure everything will go smoothly, that you won’t forget anything important, and that your vehicle will be in good hands.
At New Again Auto Repair, we understand that. That’s why we’ve prepared this quick guide with the key steps you should review before taking your car in for repairs, to make the process easier, more transparent, and without surprises.
- Remove Your Personal Items
Before leaving your vehicle, carefully check the glove compartment, side compartments, under the seats, and the trunk.
Keys, glasses, documents, or personal items can go unnoticed and cause unnecessary worry.
Tip: If you have anything valuable in your car, it’s best to remove it or report it upon receiving it at the repair shop.
- Take photos of the vehicle’s current condition
A simple step that provides peace of mind.
Take photos of each side of the car, the interior, and any visible damage. This not only serves as a backup, but also helps you compare the “before and after” repairs.
- Check the vehicle’s documents
Make sure your registration, insurance, and any documents the shop may need to process your repair are up to date, especially if an insurance company is involved.
At New Again Auto Repair, we work with all insurance companies, so we can help you with the claims process and paperwork hassle-free.
- Provide important details about your vehicle
If your car has any specific issues (a door that won’t open properly, a faulty sensor, or illuminated warning lights), please report them upon receiving the vehicle.
The more information the technician has, the better the diagnosis and final result will be.
- Clarify the estimated times and type of repair
Ask about the type of service to be performed: is it painting, bodywork, deep cleaning, or general repair?
Being clear about the scope of work and estimated times helps avoid confusion and gives you peace of mind during the process.
- If the car is unroadworthy, request assistance
In case of an accident or serious breakdown, remember that New Again Auto Repair offers towing assistance and car rentals, so you won’t be left without transportation while your vehicle is being repaired.
- Confirm how and when you can pick up your car
Make sure you know the drop-off time or if the shop offers facilities such as after-hours pickup or drop-off.
In our case, you can drop off or pick up your vehicle 24/7, because we know your time is valuable.
