Aluminum Body Repair
Aluminum requires an entirely different approach than traditional high-strength steel. We offer specialized aluminum panel extraction, structural bonding, and TIG/MIG welding techniques for luxury vehicles, EVs, and modern trucks.
- Specialized aluminum welding (MIG/TIG)
- Self-piercing riveting (SPR) applications
- Structural adhesive aluminum bonding
- Isolated clean-workspace protocols
- Expert aluminum dent extraction
- Torn aluminum fenders, hoods, or liftgates
- Bent aluminum structural rails
- Deep stretching from varied collisions
- Galvanic corrosion issues
Aluminum has virtually no structural 'memory' like steel, and it is highly susceptible to galvanic corrosion if it contacts steel dust during repair. This mandates completely separate tools, a specialized clean workspace, and advanced technical certification to prevent the metal from cracking under stress.
Workspace Isolation
Moving the vehicle to a dedicated aluminum bay to prevent metallurgical cross-contamination.
Damage Analysis
Determining if the aluminum has stretched beyond safe repair parameters.
Thermal Manipulation
Using strictly controlled heat to anneal the aluminum for reshaping.
Bonding & Riveting
Utilizing aerospace-grade adhesives and SPRs rather than traditional welding where dictated by the OEM.
Specialized Primer
Applying specific chemical primers required for paint adhesion to raw aluminum.
