Removing Car Dents

Your
Modern Auto Body Repair Shop

Most don;t want to see the
likes of an auto body repair shop. At times we can often smell the solvents being emitted by vehicle the repair shop as we drive by and wonder
how those people can make it through a work day always being precise and
accurate in both matching the color of car panels and
repairing s.u.v, truck and auto bodies
after vehicle collisions.

It is only by an auto accident that most of us end up
inside our local auto body
shop. Pittsburgh dent menders can remove dents without having to paint.

Modern body shops now seem to be unuasually
clean, well planned out and well illuminated. Many
body shops are laid out in several distinct separate staging areas. Vehicles
are estimated in one area, body work done in another, electronic repairs in yet
another area, painted in a very separate area, and finally detailed and
presented to the customer in a display area.

If the vehicle has major damage, then it is moved to a disassembly area and
onto a frame machine. Unibody construction is utilized by
most autos today. Unibody is a a mechanical and
automotive body term which describes how sheet metal is stamped, formed and
welded together to form the structural portion of the car or truck body.

The purpose of the “frame machine” is not to straighten the car frame
now– rather it is to straighten the unibody construction of the vehicle

Taking body measurements for correct unibody
alignment is more than critical. As little as fraction of an inch error is all that is allowed by most car, truck and S.U.V. manufacturers. Laser measuring systems are used by
many body shops along with the frame machine to ensure that everything is
straightened accurately to the millimeter.

Overhead vacuum
lines are connected to the grinders and sanders to pull
dust and dirt away from this part of the shop. Modern body shops can remain
very clean and dust free- indeed modern electronics, and even the most modern
hi tech electronics of hybrid vehicles demand this.

A dust free paint booth of any design is better than a dusty and dirty paint booth of the highest end. Before spending your
money or committing yourself to the job or repairs it is always best to ask to
examine several examples of the shops work on several vehicles. In addition ask
to see finished examples of several different body types– cars, trucks, suvs and vans.

After all it’s your vehicle that is being repaired– whether it is your new
S.U.V, car, truck, bus or van.
