Keeping Records After Body Repair

Keep one complete file

Save the estimate, authorized changes, final invoice and supplied photos or technical reports. Record the date and vehicle mileage.

Document remaining questions

If something needs follow-up, keep the written communication and arranged next step. Ask what warranty terms apply to the actual work.

Avoid promises about value

A vehicle's future value depends on more than the repair. These records explain what was done; they do not guarantee a trade-in value or a claim outcome.
