How OEM-Procedure Exotic Body Repair Works
Every repair begins with understanding the damage, documenting what the vehicle requires, and building the correct repair plan before major work begins.
- 01
Request an Evaluation
Submit the vehicle, damage, insurance information, photos, location, and preferred timing.
- 02
Initial Damage Assessment
HBi reviews visible damage, vehicle history, warning lights, drivability, safety concerns, and likely repair requirements.
- 03
Teardown & OEM Repair Plan
When necessary, damaged areas are disassembled so hidden damage can be identified and the repair plan can be built from manufacturer procedures.
- 04
Insurance Coordination
HBi provides photos, measurements, procedures, documentation, and supplements needed to support the proper repair.
- 05
Body, Structural & Paint Repair
Approved repairs are completed using appropriate materials, repair methods, measuring, preparation, refinishing, and blending procedures.
- 06
Quality Control & Road Test
Panel fit, paint finish, systems, warning lights, alignment, drivability, and repaired areas are reviewed before delivery.
- 07
Appearance Reset & Delivery
The vehicle receives an XPEL-safe wash, interior refresh, delivery photos, final documentation, and coordinated return.
Color Matching Is More Than Choosing a Paint Code.
Exotic paintwork requires careful preparation, material selection, spray technique, blending, finishing, and final inspection. The goal is not simply to cover the repaired panel—it is to restore a consistent appearance across the car.
HBi evaluates the original finish, adjacent panels, substrate, previous repairs, metallic or pearl orientation, and the correct refinishing procedure before final application.
Color Evaluation
Existing finish, paint variant, repaired areas, and adjacent panels are evaluated before refinishing.
Proper Preparation
Substrate repair, sanding, priming, sealing, masking, and contamination control support the final result.
Blend Planning
Blending is used when appropriate to create a natural transition between repaired and original finishes.
Finish Inspection
Color, texture, gloss, cleanliness, and finish quality are reviewed before reassembly and delivery.
More Than Bodywork and Paint
Every repair is managed as a complete process built around documentation, communication, repair quality, and final delivery.
OEM-Procedure Estimate
Repair planning uses manufacturer procedures, approved materials, teardown findings, and documented requirements.
Insurance Coordination
HBi provides photos, measurements, procedures, estimates, supplements, and documentation to support the repair.
Exotic-Grade Paint & Finish
Color matching, blending, preparation, application, and finishing are completed for a high-quality final appearance.
Structural & Safety Evaluation
Frame, unibody, mounting points, suspension relationships, alignment, and structural areas are evaluated when relevant.
Multi-Point Quality Control
Repaired areas, panel fit, finish quality, warning systems, drivability, alignment, and operation are checked.
36-Month / 36,000-Mile Warranty
Qualifying body and paint workmanship is backed by HBi, subject to written warranty terms and exclusions.
Exotic Appearance Reset
An XPEL-safe wash, interior refresh, and final delivery photography help return the vehicle looking complete.
Status Stream Updates
Milestone updates with photos help you understand where the vehicle is in the process without chasing multiple people.

Reassembled, Inspected, and Tested as a Complete Vehicle.
A high-quality paint finish means little if the panels do not align correctly, warning lights remain active, trim is damaged, sensors are not calibrated, or the vehicle does not drive as it did before the collision.
HBi completes final assembly and quality control with the entire vehicle in mind—not only the repaired panel.
Clear Standards Before, During, and After the Repair
These promises are designed around the three concerns exotic-car owners fear most: shortcut repairs, visible paint mismatch, and unexpected charges.
OEM Procedure Promise
HBi repairs your vehicle according to the agreed repair plan using applicable manufacturer procedures and approved materials. If we knowingly deviate from that agreed plan without authorization, HBi will correct the affected work at our cost.
Color-Match & Finish Guarantee
If a clear mismatch between the repaired and original finish is visible under normal daylight conditions, notify HBi and we will inspect and correct the qualifying finish concern at no additional charge.
No-Surprise Invoice Promise
Any customer-paid work or out-of-pocket expense that was not approved in writing does not appear on your final invoice. Insurance adjustments and approved supplements are documented as the repair develops.
36-Month / 36,000-Mile Body & Paint Workmanship Warranty
Qualifying HBi body and paint workmanship is covered for 36 months or 36,000 miles, subject to written warranty terms, maintenance requirements, exclusions, vehicle use, accident damage, environmental exposure, and manufacturer material terms.
You Should Never Have to Wonder What Is Happening With Your Car.
Collision repairs involve teardown, insurer approvals, parts, structural work, preparation, paint, assembly, and quality control. Silence during that process creates unnecessary stress.
HBi provides milestone-based updates from one point of contact, including photographs when appropriate, so you can follow the repair without chasing multiple departments.
Vehicle Arrival & Initial Review
Confirmation that the vehicle has arrived and the initial evaluation has begun.
Teardown & Damage Documentation
Updates on visible and hidden damage, repair planning, and required insurance supplements.
Parts & Approval Status
Communication regarding approvals, ordered parts, backorders, and expected repair sequencing.
Body, Paint & Assembly Milestones
Progress updates as the vehicle moves through repair, refinishing, curing, reassembly, and final inspection.
Quality Control & Delivery
Final confirmation once quality control, road testing, appearance reset, documentation, and delivery planning are complete.
HBi Priority Reconstruction
Standard body-shop scheduling may extend several weeks during periods of high demand. For qualifying repairs, HBi may accept a very limited number of Priority Reconstruction projects.
Priority Reconstruction provides accelerated repair coordination and a defined target completion window once the repair plan, insurer approvals, required parts, and vehicle condition are confirmed.
-
Priority intake and teardown coordination
-
Priority repair planning and supplement preparation
-
Dedicated milestone communication
-
Target completion window after approvals and parts confirmation
-
Limited to one or two qualifying vehicles at a time
Not Every Repair Qualifies
Priority availability depends on the damage, required parts, structural involvement, insurer response, outside services, paint requirements, and current workshop capacity.

Exotic Body Repair, Insurance & Paintwork
Do I have the right to choose my body shop?
In most cases, the vehicle owner may select the repair facility. Insurance procedures vary, so confirm your policy, claim requirements, and applicable state rules with your insurer.
Will HBi work directly with my insurance company?
HBi provides estimates, photographs, teardown findings, measurements, manufacturer documentation, and supplements. The insurer remains responsible for coverage and payment decisions under your policy.
What if insurance does not initially approve the full repair?
HBi documents why specific procedures, parts, materials, and operations are required. We submit supporting information and help you understand any remaining difference or decision.
Do you use OEM parts?
Parts selection depends on the vehicle, repair plan, availability, insurer approval, owner authorization, safety, and manufacturer requirements. The selected parts are documented before installation.
How long will my repair take?
Time depends on damage, teardown findings, insurance approval, parts availability, structural work, paint preparation, curing, assembly, calibration, and quality control. Complex repairs may take several weeks.
Can HBi pick up a damaged or non-drivable vehicle?
Transportation may be available depending on location, vehicle condition, wheel and suspension damage, ground clearance, safety, and equipment requirements.
Can repaired panels receive new PPF or ceramic coating?
Yes, after the refinished surface has cured for the required period and passes inspection. HBi can coordinate replacement PPF or ceramic protection on qualifying repaired areas.
Do you perform minor bumper and cosmetic repairs?
Yes, when the vehicle and repair fit HBi’s specialty focus. Most accepted body projects fall within the stated $4,000–$25,000+ range.
How is HBi different from a conventional body shop?
HBi focuses on Porsche and specialty vehicles, OEM repair planning, exotic-grade refinishing, documented insurance coordination, milestone communication, and complete-vehicle quality control.
Can I request an estimate using photographs?
Photographs help with initial fit and planning, but they cannot reveal all hidden damage. Final repair planning may require physical inspection, teardown, measuring, scanning, or further diagnosis.
