Aluminum Repair Services
Most contemporary vehicles are constructed with aluminum body panels on a steel frame, replacing the all-steel bodies that were common on older vehicles. There are many benefits to this change, including improved emissions ratings and better fuel efficiency. Working with aluminum body panels though requires extra expertise when it’s time for repairs. That’s why you should bring your vehicle to Garber Collision Center in Rochester and let our ASE-certified technicians handle your vehicle’s aluminum collision repair.
For a long time, most vehicles were constructed from steel. However, as fuel prices began to rise in the last few decades, so did demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles that didn’t sacrifice the versatility of an SUV or pickup truck. That’s where aluminum comes in. This light-weight, impact-resistant metal is a fuel-efficient alternative to heavy steel panels. While the vehicle’s frame is still constructed from steel, swapping the body panels for aluminum reduces the vehicle’s overall weight, leading to better gas mileage.
Aluminum behaves differently than steel though and requires special handling when it needs repairs. While steel remembers its original form and is easy to manipulate back into the correct shape, aluminum forgets its original shape once it’s been impacted. That’s why aluminum body panels require special tools and extra expertise to correct their shape following an accident.
At Garber Collision Center, our certified technicians have the necessary training and correct tools to repair aluminum body panels following a collision. As aluminum and steel can be corrosive to one another, our facility has separate, isolated areas where aluminum work is performed to reduce risk of cross contamination. Our technicians will carefully work the aluminum panels back into their original shape to return your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
