Our Process
Fundamentally a Better Way
DCR Systems utilizes “lean manufacturing” principles in its approach to collision repair. In DCR Systems’ world-class collision centers, a vehicle is worked on through logical, sequential, streamlined set of steps with strict quality-inspection points.
The first collision repair process to be granted a U.S. Patent, DCR Systems’ unique operating model streamlines workflow, creates consistency and eliminates the inefficiencies associated with traditional auto body repair — providing a faster, higher quality, cost-competitive repair, and a hassle free collision repair experience.
