Towed in vehicles with heavy damage can take anywhere from 1 ½ to 3 weeks depending on the amount of damage and parts availability. After your vehicle is in the shop and the full disassembly and repair planning is complete we are able to let you know the exact cost of repair as well as parts availability and your completion date. If the insurance company needs to approve the additional repair it could take 1-3 days for final approval, and then the completion date will be known.
