Auto Body Collision Repair & Paintless Dent Removal Okc

Auto Body Finishing

Our belief at Advanced Collision Repair is that when we finish a vehicle, it’

s simply not just cosmetic reconstruction or repainting the finish. Finishing is a

process of preserving and protecting automotive design and functionality.

We are vigilant in rebuilding specific design and shape to match subtle

contours and body lines to maintain the proper aerodynamics and air flow that

reduce drag, allowing your vehicle to have ultimate performance and handling.

Matching the original form often requires blending composition materials such

as body fillers to the auto body panel and meticulously finishing the surface to

match the original texture. Knowledge of material attributes and handling is

critical to proper bonding and surfacing. This is a technical skill that requires

years of hands on experience and know how.

After a vehicle’s body is restored, the surface is cleaned with solvents and

prepped to receive first a primer sealer coat and then the base coat and finally

2 – 3 coats of a clear protective finish. Some components such as bumpers,

are individually painted when they alone are being repaired.This is done

whenever possible to eliminate over spray on the vehicle and allow for a

more accurate factory appearance.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics is more than a procedure; it ’ s a science based on in-depth

understanding of structural and mechanical engineering performance

providing more accurate trouble shooting of specific complications or

disorders.

When your vehicle is involved in a collision, even in circumstances such as

common fender benders the structural integrity of an automobile can be

affected. Indirect or hidden damage is not always visible. The damage to your

vehicle can actually increase if indirect complications are left unaddressed

resulting in alignment, suspension, driving performance and safety problems in

the future.

Diagnostic evaluation is a critical key before proceeding with the collision

repair process. When you get an estimate for damage repair, keep in mind that

indirect damage often does not present itself in visual inspection. Collision

damage requires expert knowledge in detecting and trouble- shooting issues

that produce physical, structural, mechanical and electronic failure.

Frame Analysis

When a vehicle is an accident the frame rails or sub frame may require

straightening. It is necessary to be within the tolerance of the Vehicle ’ s

manufactured specifications. It actually is a small tolerance margin, equivalent

to the thickness of a dime. This measurement is very small approximately 1

millimeter, requiring precise accuracy when making a repair. If the frame

correction exceeds this margin, the vehicle frame can cause instability and

hamper automotive control, a potential hazard in future driving conditions.

Improper correction can also lead to excessive wear and tear on the vehicle’s

tires and mechanical parts causing poor performance, and in some cases

failure.

Advanced Collision Repair strives to give you back your vehicles

pre-accident structural specifications utilizing our Car-O- Liner Bench Rack

and Car-O-Tronic computerized frame measuring system. The system

provides precise frame diagnostics and a pre repair and post repair color

printouts to insure correct frame corrections were achieved. This system has

monthly data updates so we always have the latest data and necessary

information to make a correct repair.

Minor Dents & Dings

It is hard to own a car for any length of time and not experience a door ding,

a scratch or bumper damage. If the damage is just a dent or ding that has not

compromised the surface integrity or cracked the paint, It is often times

possible to make repairs using PDR .

A single dent repair cost may be as little as $75-$100, where as

conventional repairs that require body work that includes painting or blending

of the damaged panel and adjacent panels. Sometimes the repair involves the

removal of trim, pinstripe, molding and even glass, adding to the expense of

the repair. $300-$500 on conventional repairs is not uncommon. PDR is not

only inexpensive, and often times it takes hours, instead of days to make the

repairs.

Bumper damage can be more than “skin deep”, more than just the surface

damage. Sometimes the inner structure of the bumper, the energy absorbing

parts such as, steel reinforcing bars and energy absorbing foam or plastic

reinforcement pieces, become damaged or broken, and must be replaced.

These pieces are vital in maintaining the safety barrier that they were

designed for. If they go unrepaired, the vehicle as a whole is not as safe to

drive. If you were to experience a major accident and not have that protection

of the bumper and its support components, your car and possibly the

occupants could sustain severe damage or injury.
