FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is full panel removal always needed for painting?+

Not always — for small localised damage, it's sometimes possible to paint a panel without full removal from the car. But for quality results on visible panels (especially the bumper, door, fender), we usually recommend full removal for even paint application without risking overspray on neighbouring parts.

How long does removing a door with electronics take?+

Usually 1–1.5 hours for removal (plus a similar amount of time for reinstallation), given the need to carefully disconnect and later reconnect the window regulator, central locking, and other electrical components.

What happens if a mounting clip breaks during removal?+

Clips and pins are consumable parts that often break during removal, especially on older cars with plastic already brittle with age. We always check fastener condition and replace broken parts with new ones before refitting.

Does removal affect the gaps between body panels?+

With correct reinstallation, the gaps should exactly match the original — we always check this before finishing the job, since uneven gaps between panels noticeably spoil the car's appearance.

Can a panel be removed for independent repair elsewhere?+

Yes, if you only need the removal without further work from us — this is possible, though removal is more often done as part of a comprehensive service (painting, dent repair, replacement) in one visit.

Are special tools needed to remove body panels?+

Yes, especially for unclipping fasteners and pins without breaking them — we use special trim tools and pullers designed for delicate work with body trim and fasteners.

How much does removal/installation cost if the panel just needs removing and refitting with no further work?+

The price in this case equals the base removal/installation cost according to the price list for the specific panel, with no extra cost for painting or dent repair.
