FAQs

We’ve gathered the most common questions our customers ask – and provided straightforward answers to make the repair process easier to understand.

Do I need mechanical repairs even if the accident damage looks minor?

Yes. Even low-speed collisions can affect suspension, steering, alignment, cooling systems, or engine components. Mechanical issues are often hidden and may not show symptoms right away. A diagnostic inspection ensures your vehicle remains safe and reliable.

Common issues include bent suspension parts, wheel misalignment, damaged radiators, leaking fluids, broken mounts, and electrical faults. Our team checks all major systems to make sure nothing is overlooked during the repair process.

Whenever possible, we use OEM or manufacturer-approved parts to ensure proper fit, performance, and long-term reliability. This helps maintain your vehicles safety standards and prevent issues caused by low-quality aftermarket components.

Absolutely. Santa Ana Body Shop provides full-service collision and mechanical repairs under one roof. This saves you time, ensures consistent quality, and keeps your vehicles repairs coordinated from start to finish.
