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.

First
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.

Second
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.
