Long-term benefits of professional automotive collision repair

Finding Structural Damage

One of the most important reasons to visit a collision repair shop is the potential for hidden structural damage. Even a minor accident can affect your car’s frame or alignment, compromising its safety. Professional technicians have the tools and expertise to detect and address structural issues that aren’t immediately visible, ensuring your vehicle remains safe to drive.

Having Professional Expertise and Equipment

R & D Automotive has the expertise and specialized equipment needed to restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. DIY repairs or ignoring the damage entirely can lead to subpar results, compromising your car’s appearance and functionality. Our certified technicians follow automotive industry standards and use high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting repairs.

Increasing Longevity of Your Vehicle

Timely body repairs after a collision help extend the lifespan of your vehicle. Addressing issues like misalignment, damaged parts, or rust early prevents them from worsening over time. Avoiding a trip to the auto body repair shop might seem convenient in the short term, but it can lead to significant problems down the road. Regular maintenance and professional care ensure your car remains in excellent condition for years to come, maximizing your investment.

How Expert Technicians Provide Automotive Collision Repair

• Paint repairs.  After a collision, your vehicle may need paint repairs, such as scratch removal, touch-ups, or a fresh layer of paint and clear coat. Our certified repair center can access your auto manufacturer’s collection of OEM paint codes, ensuring 100% color matching. Highly trained technicians will evaluate the extent of your paint’s damage, provide you a quote and work with insurance companies for the necessary repairs.

• OEM parts.  Our collision repair team can order parts and components specifically designed to fit with your vehicle. They can also repair, replace, tune up, and reconfigure damaged parts and components as needed, no matter the extent of the damage.

• Body panel replacement. From front bumpers to complete side panels, our body shop can order new ones if one or multiple body panels are too damaged for traditional repair techniques. If your car or truck has more than a minor dent or door ding, they can order the new part, paint it using your vehicle’s original paint code, finish it, apply a clear coat, and install it.

• Severe damage repairs. If your car was involved in a severe accident, it may require more extensive auto body repair services. Our trained and certified technicians can perform advanced tasks such as frame or unibody straightening, chassis re-strengthening, suspension repairs, and wheel and axle realignment.
