When your vehicle suffers a structural impact, the repair involves not only restoring its appearance but also ensuring its safety and structural integrity. At New Again Auto Repair, we have a detailed technical process and modern tools that allow us to perform precise and efficient body straightening. Below, we explain what this process entails and why choosing a certified body shop makes all the difference.
Thorough Damage Assessment
The first step is to perform a full inspection of the vehicle to determine the severity of the damage. We use computer diagnostic systems and laser measuring tools to identify deformations, misalignments, and potential internal damage not visible to the naked eye. This assessment allows us to accurately plan the repair.
Vehicle Preparation and Protection
Before beginning, we protect unaffected areas of the vehicle to prevent further damage during the process. This includes removing parts if necessary and placing safety supports on the structure to facilitate the work.
Disassembly of Damaged Components
To access the affected areas, we remove components that could interfere with the straightening process, such as moldings, headlights, or interior parts. This step is critical to ensuring a complete and safe repair.
Use of High-Tech Equipment
Our workshop is equipped with state-of-the-art hydraulic straightening equipment and laser measuring systems. These instruments allow us to apply controlled pressure and measure deformation in real time, returning the structure to its original dimensions with millimeter precision.
Straightening and Alignment
We use hydraulic presses and repair frames that, in conjunction with laser measurement, allow us to correct deformations in the structure. Precision in this step is crucial to ensure the vehicle maintains its integrity and safety in the event of future impacts.
Repair Verification
After straightening, we perform further measurements with our diagnostic systems to ensure the structure meets the manufacturer’s safety and alignment standards. Computerized diagnostic testing helps us confirm that everything is in order.
Reassembly and Refinishing
Finally, we reinstall the removed components, perform refinishing, and ensure the bodywork is uniform and free of visible deformations. We also verify that the doors, hoods, and trunks close properly.
Benefits of Using a Certified Body Shop
Choosing a certified body shop ensures that the work is performed precisely, following the safety and quality standards required by the automotive industry. At New Again Auto Repair, we are members of Professional Auto Service and have ASE-certified technicians, in addition to using state-of-the-art diagnostic and repair equipment.
