Even with its ups and downs, Vancouver is a tough city to beat. The vibrant community creates a rich cultural fabric—in fact, 52% of the city’s residents have a first language other than English. Vancouver often ranks in the top five cities in the world for livability, and where else can you go where you can go skiing in the afternoon and jump into the ocean in the evening? Vancouver has gone through many changes over the years but forestry, film and tourism keep the city ever expanding and interesting, to say the least.
At Grandcity Autobody Shop we don’t simply try to achieve industry standards, we set our own. We truly care about the wellbeing of our customers and from the moment you walk in the front door, our experienced staff will take exceptional care of both you and your vehicle – satisfaction guaranteed!
OEM Collision Repair Shop in Vancouver
Have you been involved in a collision and need the help of an auto body shop in Vancouver? At Grandcity Autobody Ltd., we understand how stressful it can be to find a team you can trust to work on your vehicle. To help you feel confident in our technicians’ abilities to repair your car according to the manufacturer’s original standards, we offer OEM auto body parts for collision repair. What does this mean? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and at Grandcity, we are proud to have our OEM collision certification. Meaning, we are trained to use OEM auto body parts that were designed, made, and fitted by the original manufacturer of your vehicle.
Why is this important? As vehicles become more technologically advanced, specific training is crucial to provide high-quality repairs. This includes the ability to understand the complexities of various manufacturer’s vehicles and their parts. While OEM repairs are not necessary for every case, at Grandcity Autobody, we want to provide you with as many options as possible to best serve your car’s needs. That’s why we offer OEM certified collision repair. To ensure your vehicle is repaired in alignment with the manufacturer’s designs and constructions.
To get our OEM collision certification, our auto body shop in Vancouver has obtained the required training, equipment, tools, and updated facilities to restore your vehicle correctly. So, if your vehicle requires repairs that are specific to its make and model, our technicians have the authorization needed to conduct replacements with OEM auto body parts. The results? High quality repairs, increased reliability, and improved performance.
Our Warranty
When you leave our auto body shop in Vancouver, you leave with the peace of mind that comes with our lifetime warranty. To demonstrate our commitment to our quality of work and ensure you feel confident in our abilities, we offer the most comprehensive warranty in the industry. As long as the vehicle is registered in your name, you will receive a lifetime warranty to cover labour and materials. Whether you come in for OEM certified collision repair, a new paint job, decal application or removal, or any other auto body work, Grandcity Autobody has you covered.
OEM Certified Collision Repair Process
1. Free Estimate
The collision repair process begins with an inspection of your vehicle by an estimator at our auto body shop in Vancouver. We will assist you filling out the necessary paperwork and provide you with an estimation of the repair cost. As an ICBC accredited auto body shop, we will take photos of the damage to include with the ICBC claims. Then, all relevant information will be forwarded to both you and the insurance company.
2. Repair
To restore your car according to the manufacturer’s specifications, we use an electronic measuring system to analyze the auto body. This confirms that the frame of the vehicle is structurally sound throughout the repair process. If your vehicle requires OEM auto body parts for certain replacements, we have the certification to maintain manufacturing standards and conduct these repairs.
3. Painting Preparation
This is a crucial step in the collision repair process as it gives your car that clean, smooth, and seamless appearance. To prepare for painting, our team will sand all surfaces to the desired pre-paint finish.
4. Painting
Along with our team’s extensive training and experience, we reference our expansive database of colour formulations. To guarantee exact colour matches, we use a computerized paint mixing system along with hardening agents and flex additives for longevity. After applying the colour, sealant, and clear coat, the painting booth will be set to a specific time and temperature to “bake” the finish onto the car components.
5. Reassembly and Refinishing
All components of the car, including detail pieces and final moldings, are put back on the vehicle in the reassembly area. This concludes the collision repair process, as the vehicle has been restored to its pre-collision condition.
6. Quality Control Inspection
To remove any dust and dirt that accumulated during the repair process, your vehicle will be thoroughly cleaned and detailed. Additionally, your vehicle will be professionally inspected to ensure quality control.
7. Delivery
The final step is delivery. When you come into our auto body shop in Vancouver to pick up your vehicle, we will assist you with any remaining paperwork needed for ICBC claims and go through the details of the final repair bill. With our lifetime warranty, you can drive off with the peace of mind that your car has been restored to its pre-collision condition and is protected long-term.
