Post-impact visible-damage assessment · Mitcham workshop
After an impact, the visible mark is only the starting point. Use clear photos or a Mitcham workshop assessment to identify the affected panels, paint condition and the appropriate bodywork route.
Quick answer
IQ Tyres can assess visible accident damage to body panels, bumpers, dents and paintwork. If the damage appears structural, affects safety systems or makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, seek the appropriate specialist or recovery support first.
Start with the problem
Accident damage can range from a local bumper scuff to broader panel and paint damage. The assessment focuses on the visible bodywork repair boundary and identifies when a different specialist route may be needed.
Workshop assessment route
The workshop reviews visible bodywork damage and discusses the appropriate repair path. It does not promise a repair method, estimate or timescale before the condition and repair boundary are assessed.
