Disassembly

Once damage body parts are removed from the car, Tatman's can identify any additional damage that may not have been evident at the time of the initial inspection. In these instances, a new cost estimate is prepared and given to you and your insurance company for approval.

Ordering replacement parts

Tatman's orders any replacement parts early in the repair process, guaranteeing the parts are available when it's time to repair your car.

Straightening structural components

Tatman's highly trained technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to realign damaged parts to within 1 millimeter of original factory specifications.

Installing body parts

Everything we install is painstakingly adjusted to ensure that all parts fit, open, and close the way they did before your accident.

Mechanical repairs

Damage to the engine, suspension, transmission or other mechanical system is repaired, giving you peace of mind knowing that your care is safe and ready to drive.

Refinishing

We use the finest paints and technically advanced equipment available to precisely match the existing finish on your car. Our downdraft paint system eliminates all impurities, leaving you with a smooth, high gloss, factory finish.

Final assembly and detailing

Finally, bumpers, lights and other trim parts are reinstalled. Once reassembly is complete, your car moves to detailing where the Tatman's team thoroughly cleans the interior and exterior of you car, preparing it for final delivery to you.
