Frequently Asked Questions

Paint correction uses multi-step polishing processes with advanced compounds and tools to remove surface scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks. At Revved Up Collision Center, our technicians assess affected areas carefully to preserve overall paint health while restoring shine and clarity. This process is especially effective for vehicles impacted by Michigan's harsh winters and frequent road debris.

Frame alignment corrects misalignments caused by collisions or road impacts using precision measurement systems to restore manufacturer specifications. Frame straightening addresses bent or compromised frames with industry-grade machines to restore structural rigidity. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use detailed measurements to determine which service your vehicle needs for safe handling and long-term performance.

You should contact a collision repair shop immediately after any accident, even if damage appears minor. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use Snap-on CAN-bus diagnostics to uncover hidden electrical and structural issues that can worsen over time. Early inspection prevents costly breakdowns and ensures all safety systems function properly after impact.

Cost depends on vehicle size, paint quality, color complexity, and whether additional prep work like rust repair or panel replacement is needed. At Revved Up Collision Center, we provide transparent estimates and use factory-grade color-matching technology to ensure seamless, long-lasting results. Redford-area conditions like road salt exposure may require extra prep for durability.

Michigan winters expose vehicles to road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV reflection from snow, causing oxidation, fading, and surface damage. At Revved Up Collision Center, we handle full body painting and paint correction designed to restore finishes compromised by these harsh seasonal conditions. Proper surface prep and high-quality materials ensure long-lasting protection.

Many drivers delay inspection, assuming visible damage tells the whole story. Hidden structural, electrical, and sensor issues often go unnoticed without advanced diagnostics. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use Snap-on CAN-bus programming to detect problems early, preventing safety risks and costly repairs down the road for Redford-area drivers.

Yes, unibody damage can be fully repaired using precision equipment and trained structural specialists who restore original manufacturing specifications. At Revved Up Collision Center, we correct ripples, buckling, and stress points common after side-impact or frontal collisions. Proper alignment ensures doors, fenders, and suspension components fit and function safely.

Common signs include vehicle pulling to one side, steering wheel vibration, uneven tire wear, or visible gaps between body panels. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use precision measurement systems to assess frame alignment and restore manufacturer specs. Redford drivers on busy roads like Telegraph Rd and I-96 should address misalignment quickly for safe handling.

Major crash restoration includes structural straightening, panel replacement, mechanical repairs, sensor recalibration, and refinishing to factory standards. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use high-end equipment and Snap-on Diagnostics to rebuild frames, safety systems, and cosmetic elements. Our team maintains honest communication, explaining every repair necessary for safety and performance in Redford-area conditions.

Accurate color matching ensures repaired or replaced panels blend seamlessly with surrounding areas, preserving your vehicle's appearance and resale value. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use advanced technology to account for Redford's climate exposure—sun, snow, and road salt—when blending and finishing paint. This eliminates visible transitions and delivers factory-quality results.

CAN-bus diagnostics read your vehicle's electronic systems to detect hidden sensor, airbag, and electrical damage that visual inspections miss. At Revved Up Collision Center, we use Snap-on CAN-bus programming to pinpoint issues early and ensure proper system function after a crash. This prevents future breakdowns and keeps safety features operational for Redford drivers.

Small chips can often be repaired, but cracks longer than a few inches or in the driver's sight line typically require replacement for safety. At Revved Up Collision Center, we provide honest recommendations and use safety-rated materials with proper sealing and sensor recalibration. Prompt service prevents Redford-area road debris and seasonal temperature changes from worsening damage.
