The work a body shop of this kind usually takes on
A business of this kind in central Contra Costa County usually handles collision repair after an accident, paint matching and refinishing, dent and scratch repair, bumper repair or replacement, and straightening a bent frame or unibody on a measuring rig. Many body shops also deal directly with insurance adjusters, arranging photos and supplements when hidden damage turns up once a panel comes off.
Directory listings describe Rainbow as a collision and paint shop, but its exact services have not been confirmed, so ask about your particular repair when you call.
Getting a car repaired
Under California law you are entitled to a written estimate before any work begins, and the shop must get your consent before going over it. Ask for the shop's Bureau of Automotive Repair registration number and check it on the BAR website. If an insurer is paying, remember that you choose the shop; ask whether it will work with your adjuster and whether new factory parts, aftermarket parts or used parts are planned. Ask what warranty the shop gives on paint and labour, and get it on paper. Find out how long the repair should take and whether your policy covers a rental car in the meantime.

Services
Typical for this type of businessRepairing panels, bumpers, lights and structural parts after an accident, usually starting with a teardown estimate that uncovers hidden damage for the insurer.
Colour-matched painting of repaired panels or a whole vehicle, blended into neighbouring panels so the new finish does not stand out in Concord's strong sun.
Minor dents, door dings and scratches fixed with filler and paint or, where the paint is intact, paintless dent removal, often in a shorter visit.
Measuring and pulling a bent frame or unibody back to factory dimensions on a frame machine, so doors, wheels and panels line up again.
Working with the adjuster on photos, estimates and supplements when more damage is found, so the claim covers the full repair rather than only what was visible.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessDo I have to use the body shop my insurer recommends?
No. In California you may choose the repair shop, and an insurer cannot require you to use a particular one. The insurer may still inspect the car and negotiate the estimate with the shop you pick.
Should I get a written estimate?
Yes. California's Automotive Repair Act requires a written estimate before work starts, and the shop needs your consent before going over it. Keep the estimate and the final invoice with your records.
Will the shop use factory parts?
Estimates may call for new factory (OEM) parts, aftermarket parts or recycled parts, and insurers often specify which. Ask which the estimate lists and whether you can pay the difference for factory parts.
How long does collision repair take?
Minor cosmetic work can take a day or two; a repair involving structural parts or back-ordered panels can take weeks. Ask for an estimated completion date and whether the shop will update you if parts are delayed.
