How bodywork is done at our workshop
This page describes bodywork carried out at our workshop in Kepez Akdeniz Sanayi. For directions and business hours, you can visit our Antalya industrial estate page, and for paintwork, check our Akdeniz Sanayi auto paint page. For general bodywork information, visit the Antalya bodywork repair page.
The goal in bodywork is to restore the vehicle's sheet metal as close to original as possible. The damaged panel is first inspected; if it can be straightened, it is repaired, and if straightening is no longer viable, it is replaced. The repaired surface is then prepped for paint; this ensures the entire process starts and finishes in the same workshop.
What types of damage require bodywork?
- Parking and maneuvering damage: Dents on doors, fenders, and bumpers.
- Impact marks: Panel deformation following front, side, or rear impacts.
- Post-accident panel damage: Straightening and paint required across multiple panels. For this work, our post-accident bodywork and paint repair page explains the scope.
- Heavy damage: Extensive damage affecting numerous panels and the vehicle structure; details are available on our vehicle rebuild page.
| Damage level | Typical scope | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Minor damage | Dent or light impact on a single panel | 1–3 days |
| Moderate damage | Straightening and paint on several panels | 5–7 days |
| Heavy damage | Multiple panels, replacement, and structural repair | 2–4 weeks |
Can a dent be straightened, or should the panel be replaced?
This decision is critical in terms of cost and final outcome. If the sheet metal is not torn or stretched and the panel lines are preserved, straightening is preferred to keep the vehicle's original metal. If the metal is creased and torn, or if repair costs exceed the price of a replacement panel, replacement may be practical.
We can estimate the best approach from a photo, but a definitive answer requires seeing the vehicle in person. Paint cracks along the dent edges, tension in the metal, and the alignment of surrounding panels are all evaluated. We do not perform paintless dent repair (PDR); in painted dent repair, straightening, body filler, primer, and paint proceed together.
How to inspect sheet metal and panel lines after repair
Quality bodywork can be checked both before and after painting. Panel gaps (the spaces between doors and fenders, or the hood and front panel) should be even on both sides. Doors and the trunk should close firmly and smoothly, and the panel surface should show no ripples when viewed from an angle in good lighting.
We make a point of carrying out these checks together with you upon delivery. Inspecting the vehicle in daylight reveals ripples or tone differences that might not be visible under workshop lighting. If you notice any imperfection, mentioning it at delivery makes corrections straightforward.
Step-by-step bodywork repair
- AssessmentDamage, panel lines, and sheet metal condition are inspected.
- DisassemblyBumpers, trim, and adjacent parts are removed if necessary.
- StraighteningSheet metal is straightened as much as possible; panels are replaced if needed.

- Reassembly and deliveryParts are refitted, and the vehicle is inspected together in daylight.
What should you prepare before coming?
Close-up and wide photos of the damage, the make, model, and year of the vehicle, and a brief description of how the damage occurred are sufficient for an initial assessment. We always reply to your messages; we can provide an initial price and turnaround estimate from photos. If you visit our workshop, the vehicle is inspected on-site and assessment is free.
If your vehicle is undriveable, it will need to arrive on a tow truck. In such cases, the best approach is to share photos first so we can evaluate the scope, repair feasibility, and timeline, then finalize everything once the vehicle is inspected in person.
What happens with insurance claims?
If an insurance claim has been opened, an insurance adjuster typically assesses and reports the damage first. Once the report is ready, we finalize the scope of repairs and timeline together. How the process unfolds depends on your policy and the insurance company; for an overview, see our article on the insurance damage repair process.
Send a photo of the damage, and we will provide an initial estimate and timeframe. On-site assessment at the workshop is free.
What to look for when choosing a body shop?
- Is assessment charged, and what does it cover?
- Does the shop explain why repair or panel replacement is recommended?
- Is painting done in the same workshop inside a paint booth with baking?
- Can a written timeline and price estimate be provided?
- Is there a mutual inspection upon delivery?
For a more detailed guide, read our article on what to consider when choosing a body shop. For the final handover, our delivery checklist is helpful.
Tip: When photographing damage, take pictures in daylight, both close-up and from 2–3 meters away; this shows the panel lines and dent depth more clearly.
