Aluminum Repair Services
More and more, modern vehicles are being constructed with aluminum body panels on a steel frame, replacing the all-steel bodies common amongst older vehicles. There are many benefits of this, including improved fuel efficiency and better emissions ratings. However, this swap to aluminum demands extra expertise when it comes to repairs. That’s why you should trust the ASE-certified technicians at RF Collision in Canandaigua to handle your vehicle’s aluminum collision repair.
For many years, auto manufacturers relied on steel to construct their vehicles. However, with rising fuel prices came a rising demand for vehicles that offered better fuel ratings without having to sacrifice the versatility of an SUV or truck. Enter aluminum. This metal provides a light-weight, impact-resistant solution to heavy steel panels. While the vehicle’s frame is still constructed from steel, the aluminum body panels reduce overall weight, leading to better gas mileage, especially in larger vehicles.
However, aluminum also behaves differently than steel, meaning it requires special handling while being repaired. Unlike steel, which will remember its original form and is easy to manipulate back into the proper shape, aluminum forgets its original form once it’s been reshaped. Aluminum body panels must be treated with special tools to return it to its correct shape following an accident.
At RF Collision, our body shop has the correct tools and our technicians have the necessary training to repair aluminum body panels following an accident. As aluminum and steel can be corrosive to one another, our shop also has separate, isolated areas where this work is performed to reduce the risk of cross contamination. There, our certified technicians will carefully work the aluminum panels back into their proper shape, returning your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
As an I-CAR Gold certified facility, RF Collision is proud to provide Canandaigua and the surrounding communities with high-quality aluminum body repair. With our outstanding customer service and advanced technology, we are committed to exceeding your expectations and providing the best experience possible.
