Output Shaft Seal Leak I just had someone replace the right output shaft seal in my 2004 Chevy caviler and now its leaking red fluid (transmission fluid). Before the fix it wasn't …When you last saw your car, it was a twisted mess being towed away from the scene of the accident. Now it's weeks later and the car is parked in the driveway of a body shop. All you have to do is write a check and the car is yours again. But how do you know that everything under the surface has really been fixed correctly? One key to getting your car fixed right is choosing a reliable shop in the first place. But you should still inspect the work performed before you drive away. To better understand what to look for, here are some insider tips from several knowledgeable veterans of the body shop business. Have a Clear Understanding Up Front The process of having your car fixed right starts when you drop it off, says Aaron Schulenburg, executive director of the Society of Collision Repair Specialists.
Be clear on what the shop is going to fix and how it will do the repair. Get everything in writing. Ask about the shop's warranty on its work. When you return, review the paperwork to confirm that the shop did the repairs correctly. "A reputable repair facility will go through everything with you, walk you through all the steps they took," Schulenburg says. "Good shops will even touch up bolts under the hood that have been scratched while being repaired." Clean Car Is a MustWhen you pick up your car, it should have been washed, cleaned and vacuumed, says John Mallette, owner of Burke Auto Body and Paint, in Long Beach, California. There should be no dirt or dust in the car and definitely no old parts in the trunk. Mallette says he even tries to wash down the engine compartment before he hands over the keys. It can be a challenge to return a clean car to a customer, says Mike O'Connell, owner of Golden Hammer Auto Body in Los Angeles. With all the dust from sanding, he says, "body shops are the dirtiest places on earth."
He says his workers take precautions to keep the cars clean by using paper and masking tape to protect different areas. And then they carefully wash the car before the customer comes to pick it up. If the car's general appearance passes muster, take a close look at the area that was repaired. Mallette recommends looking for gaps between body panels first. If the gaps are obviously uneven, that's a telltale sign of panels not being aligned correctly. Schulenburg says owners should make sure the doors open and close properly with good alignment. If there was extensive front-end damage to the car, it can be difficult for a body shop to repair perfectly, Mallette says. One way to spot a problem is to look at the distance between the tire and fender. If it is wide on one side and narrow on the other, something wasn't fixed properly. Another test is to turn on the headlights to ensure that the light beams are aligned. When a car is hit in the front, the frame may have been bent and required straightening on what the body shop calls "the rack."
The shop workers use it to pull the frame rails until the frame is straight. Mallette says he can look under a car and see "butcher marks" from poor repair jobs. But visual inspections might be difficult for the average consumer, Schulenburg explains. He says owners should take a look at the automated printout of the frame specifications. A good body shop will measure the damaged area of the car and then measure the frame again after it does the repair. The frame specs should be the same post-repair as they were before the accident. The frame spec printout is a good reference document to make sure the job has been done right. If you are concerned that a major repair wasn't done correctly and want someone other than the original body shop to size it up, you can get a second opinion. O'Connell tells us that many people bring cars to him for just this kind of assessment, and he can immediately spot problems that the ordinary consumer can't. Paint Jobs: Matching Colors and Consistency
One of the most challenging jobs in a body shop is paint matching. "Punching in the factory paint codes gets you 95 percent of the way to matching the color," O'Connell says. But the remaining 5 percent has to be done by people who really know what they're doing. "If we didn't do this extra step there would always be a little variance," he explains. "That's why you see cars on the road that look like they are three different colors." Most factory paint jobs have an "orange peel" texture to the finish to a greater or lesser degree. Whether you like that effect or not, most factory paint jobs have this texture, and it can be tricky for body shops to duplicate. Mallette advises that you arrange to pick up a car from the body shop during the day. If possible, look at the car in the sunlight to make sure that the new paint matches the car's original shade and finish. Also, if the shop repainted several panels, sight along the side of the car to look for color consistency. And finally, examine the paint for runs or imperfections such as hair or specks of dirt trapped in the finish.
When It Isn't Fixed Right In some cases, a problem with the repair develops months later. A common scenario is that you notice the car's front tires are wearing unevenly. This could be a sign that the front suspension hasn't been straightened and repaired correctly. Find your paperwork and receipt, bring the car back and show the manager the tire's wear pattern. The shop should fix the problem under the warranty, Mallette says. Schulenburg agrees that improper tire wear on a car is a bad sign. "Take it back to the body shop," he says. "There are a whole lot of things that can lead to tire wear. Let them assess what is causing it." Many body shops are "fly-by-night," O'Connell notes, and if you're dealing with one of them, it can be tough to get satisfaction if the job wasn't done right. A legitimate shop should stand by its work. He recommends that you make sure you are within the warranty period, which is usually one year or 12,000 miles. Then, with your paperwork in hand, ask to speak with an owner or manager.
