What is R&R?

• A. Replace and Reinstall
• B. Remove and Replace
• C. Remove and Install
• D. Repair and Refinish

Answer: (B)

R&R means Remove and Replace. In collision repair, this describes taking a damaged part off the vehicle and installing a replacement part in its place when the part can’t be repaired or is not economical to fix. This phrasing focuses on the entire workflow: you remove the bad component and replace it with a good one, rather than trying to repair the damaged piece or simply reusing the same part. For example, if a bumper cover is severely damaged, you would remove that bumper and install a new one rather than trying to repair and refinish the old bumper. This is different from options that imply repairing and refinishing a piece or just removing and reinstalling the same part. The idea behind R&R is clear: remove the damaged part and replace it.
