Why Is the Cost of Auto Body Repairs Increasing?

Posted by Writer - March 7, 2018 - Auto Repairs

If you’re planning to arrange for automotive repair service in Madison, TN and have heard that the cost of auto body repairs has been increasing, you’re not incorrect.

According to a trends report by industry expert Mitchell, here are some reasons that these types of costs have been increasing in recent years.

Inflation

First, it’s important to note that, as with many other areas, vehicle repair costs have increased because of inflation. Some research that you may see that explains that repairs have become more expensive may not take into account the need to adjust for inflation.

Parts, labor and paint

While labor and paint costs can certainly account for a large portion of a total repair bill, the cost of parts is the biggest source of auto repair expenses.

Because today’s cars feature more advanced technology than in years past, the parts are more difficult to manufacture and require higher quality materials that are often more expensive. However, the positive side of this price increase, of course, is a safer driving experience and a lower chance of accidents.

As context for increasing costs, here are some common auto repairs that rely on parts that have become increasingly complex:

  • Rear end repairs: The cost for parts needed to repair or replace the rear end of your car in the event of an accident can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage. Repairing a bumper will run on the lower end of costs. However, if your car’s frame needs major repair or replacement work, the costs for these parts and associated auto body work can run into the thousands of dollars.
  • Bumpers: Repairing or replacing your car’s bumper is a more involved process than it may initially seem. To determine whether the bumper should be repaired or replaced, an auto repair professional will have to turn off multiple components, such as air bag alerts, warning systems and lights. This requires a considerable amount of work before a repair can even take place. Then, of course, costs will run higher if a bumper needs to be entirely replaced because there is time and labor required for preparing the bumper for replacement, painting it and installing it.
  • Windshields: While repairs for minor cracks to your windshield may come in at a fairly low cost, more significant damage or bigger cracks will likely require a windshield replacement.
