Overview
Aluminum is a popular material used in modern car manufacturing due to its lightweight and strong properties. However, repairing aluminum can be more complex than repairing traditional steel, and it requires specialized equipment and expertise. As a result, it’s important to choose a collision repair shop that has experience with aluminum repairs.
When you bring your car in for an aluminum repair, the first step is to assess the damage and determine the best course of action. This may involve taking the car apart to fully evaluate the extent of the damage. From there, we will use specialized equipment to repair the aluminum body panels.
Why Do I Need This Service?
Collision Damage
Just like any steel vehicle, a car made with aluminum body panels can be involved in a collision. In the event of an accident, it may be necessary to repair or replace damaged aluminum body parts
Wear and Tear
Over time, the aluminum panels on a car can become worn or damaged due to exposure to the elements or normal use. This can include dents, scratches, or corrosion that may need to be repaired.
Corrosion
Although aluminum is more resistant to corrosion than steel, it can still corrode over time. If corrosion develops on an aluminum car, it may need to be repaired to prevent further damage

Some car owners may choose to modify their cars with custom aluminum body panels, such as aftermarket hoods or fenders. In this case, aluminum repairs may be necessary to properly install and fit the new panels
