Unibody Repair
There are two types of automobile construction, body on frame and unibody. Body on frame is mostly used for trucks and SUVs. Unibody is the construction used for most automobiles and smaller crossover SUVs. Some vehicles like Jeep Cherokees are a combination of the two designs. Regardless of the design, the frame on a vehicle has multiple functions. First it defines the dimension of the vehicle. The frame is what all other parts align with. Secondly, the frame is designed to provide safety in the event of a collision. It is built to bend and crumple in certain places in order to absorb the energy of a collision while at the same time protecting the passenger compartment.
In most collisions there is some degree of frame damage. It could just be the bumper mounting member that’s bent or the damage could be extensive enough to require the replacement of a part or the entire frame rail. Frame repair not only involves restoring frame components to their original dimensions, but also to their original strength. Where metal is bent it becomes hardened in the bend where the molecules are pushed together. Through a process called stress relief, the molecules are arranged back to their original configuration and the steel is restored to its original strength.
Aluminum Repair
An increasing number of luxury car manufacturers are using aluminum in the creation of their vehicles to enhance performance and fuel economy, while maintaining the highest standards of structural durability.
The way these vehicles are manufactured is very different from the methods used in steel bodies. Because of this, repair methods also, are very different. Preferred Collision Shop is designated as a Certified Aluminum Structural Repair Facility.
