Collision Repair Technology

Collision Repair Technicians can repair most damage from vehicle collisions and make vehicles look and drive like new. Damage may be minor, such as hammering out a dent, or major, such as replacing an entire panel. After a major collision, the underlying frame of a car can become bent out of shape. Repairers restore the structural integrity of car frames back to manufacturer specifications.
