Have the hitch and its mounting points inspected before pulling a trailer. Tell us if the trailer was attached during the crash, the bed-to-cab gap changed or the MultiPro tailgate now catches on the bumper. Those details help us decide where to inspect and measure.

A surface scrape may qualify for refinishing. A tear through the plastic is a different repair. For a bumper cover equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, GM limits refinishing and rules out patching a tear with filler or reinforcement tape. We identify the equipment on your SUV, check the cover and sensor mounts, and show you why a refinish or a replacement is appropriate. GM’s bumper and sensor guidance.

GM calls for a diagnostic scan during collision estimating and another after repairs, even when the dash looks normal. A scan reads fault codes. Calibration aims or teaches a camera or sensor so it can interpret what’s around the vehicle. A clean scan alone can’t confirm its aim. We check the procedure for your VIN and the parts disturbed, coordinate any required calibration with the appropriate provider, and review the results with you. GM’s collision scanning requirements.

An alignment may be part of the repair, but first we need to know what moved. A curb or wheel impact can affect the wheel, tire, steering or suspension even when the fender shows only a small dent.

Our Spring Mountain body and mechanical teams can inspect the impact area, compare measurements with GM specifications and explain which repairs are needed before the final alignment.
