Inspection
Every accident produces individual variations in 
damage. Each repair is influenced by the extent of 
the damage and the facilities and equipment 
available for its rectification. 

Most accident damage can be visually inspected and 
the approximate extent of damage assessed. 
Sometimes deformation will extend beyond the 
directly damaged area, and the severity of this must 
be accurately established so that steps can be taken 
to restore critical body components to their original 
dimensions. An initial check can be carried out by 
means of drop checks or, preferably, trammels. 
Gauges are available which will accurately check for 
body twist.
