Simple process? Not really, and very time-consuming and easily messed up.

All those steps depend on the amount of damage and what parts were affected. His case seems very simple and I have watched the process first hand. It is not rocket science and is like I said a simple process. There will always be some tweaking that has to go on in any repair. yes it is time consuming and honestly if you pick the right shop they will do a great job and you wont even know anything happened to the car... Artcraft has done amazing work on my cars when they were damaged and 10 out of 10 times it came out better than the OEM work and my car was fully detailed for me... Jeff (the owner) walked the entire vehicle over with me showed me where the damage was and showed me what they did to fix my cars. I am very hands on with my cars and Jeff respected that and showed me all of the steps and even took pics for me of the process if I wasnt able to be at the shop.

Sooo to the OP find a shop that has a great reputation not only for Customer Service but for Quality work! You will find yourself only going to that shop with all your work! Also, ask your shop to tell the insurance company that the parts in the suspension need to be replaced and that way you are covered if they are tweaked you have new ones if the shop feels they are fine take the check and buy some mods... its the other guys insurance companies money
