What does R&I mean?

• A. Reinstall and Inspect
• B. Remove and Install
• C. Restore and Integrate
• D. Remove and Refinish

Answer: (B)

R&I indicates removing a component to gain access and then reinstalling it after the work is complete. In collision repair, this label is used on job plans and estimates for tasks where parts are taken off to reach underlying areas (or other parts) and then put back on once the repair or replacement is finished. The first action is removal, and the second is installation, which is why this option reflects Remove and Install. It’s different from options that imply inspecting, restoring, or refinishing without the explicit reinstallation step. For example, removing a bumper to access a hidden bolt or wiring and then reinstalling the bumper after repair is a classic R&I task.
