An auto body shop may ask you to sign a Declaration of Prior Damage (DOP) to acknowledge any existing damage on your vehicle before they begin repairs. This document helps protect both you and the shop by ensuring that any new damage that may occur during the repair process is not mistaken for pre-existing damage.
