Did You Know? (Collision Repair Facts)

Over 70% of vehicle damage after a crash is hidden under panels and frames.
Driving with a misaligned frame can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, and compromised safety.
Many modern vehicles require ADAS recalibration (advanced driver assistance systems) after a collision — especially cameras, radar, and sensors.
Not all shops are certified to perform structural aluminum repairs, which require special tools and training. Valley Collision is fully equipped.
Insurance companies may suggest shops, but you always have the legal right to choose your repair facility in British Columbia.
