On march 3, 2016 the vehicle for [redacted] was towed into Central Body & Paint. The repairs for her [redacted] accent was being processed through [redacted] (non-drive) program. [redacted] was the adjuster handling the file which at the time was under the deductible. One concern [redacted]...
had was her brake lights not going off which would drain her battery. [redacted] had Central Body's technician diagnosis the situation. The technician ruled that the brake switch was not engaging enough when the brake pedal was released. The fix would be to adjust the tab that the rubber stopper is sitting on to engage the brake light switch and the lights would then turn off. The claim for the [redacted] was a hit in the rear bumper, the last vehicle of a four car accident. Based on our experience and not having any impact to the wheels or fresh undercarriage damages the brake lights was the focal point. Central Body had no reason to remove the wheels to inspect the brakes or even adjust the rod going into the master cylinder. If the brakes could have been affected due to the collision then [redacted] must be involved. As far as the brake line replacement recommendation to each caliper after the lock up we performed some basic test. He released the bleeder screw at each caliper to see if the brakes would release from the rotor and they did. That indicates the problem is not in the caliper but could be in the lines going to the caliper because of restriction internally. The caliper lines also have rubber that led him to believe there may be a chance or softening and breakdown.Central Body & Paint is in the repair business and value our customers. Repairing vehicles right and on time is very important. Sincerely,Rory C[redacted]
