Our auto body shop in Toronto provides the essential services involved in the repair process. All our services use the industry's best practises and use the high quality materials to ensure you get the best finished product. We guarantee the repairs we make to your vehicle, against any defects of workmanship for as long as you own your vehicle.
This is one of the most common repairs that we come at our auto body shop. Many times we come across bumpers that have minor scrapes, scratches or dents and they are repairable. Methods used are:
There are occasions when damages are too severe and a new bumper is required. However if we can repair we ensure the shape is contoured back to its original shape and the process is followed with a fresh coat of paint.
Our auto body shop highly recommends damage to metal panels must be tended very quickly. Corrosion or rust can happen when bare metal is exposed to the elements. The best course of action is to quickly get the panel repaired or replaced.
During our auto body repair process we bring the damaged metal as close as we can to the original contour, add some thin layers of body filler to complete the contour of the metal, treat the metal with the appropriate rust inhibiting primer and lastly a fresh coat of paint. This process allows us to provide the workmanship guarantee that our customers seek.
The final process in the auto body shop is to paint repaired panels or paint new parts. At the LK Auto we only use the best materials. Top quality paints and clear coats are used for the best possible finishes.
During this process it is best practise to keep the parts and panels as clean as we can. Once the painting is complete we do a quality check for any imperfections. If any imperfections are found then we do a process of water sanding and polishing to get a beautiful finish.
Identification of the vehicle frame can be done by measuring certain points of the chassis. After dismantling, the damaged frame is placed on the frame machine. The frame is bolted down in such a way that it becomes immovable. The areas to be fixed are attached by chains to specific points on the frame.
The technician slowly increases the tension on the chain by operating the hydraulic equipment. When the laser diagnostics provide confirmation of the correct realignment of the frame, the towers are rotated and the chains are attached to other areas of the frame that need to be straightened. The process continues until the entire frame has returned to factory specifications. These machines are very useful for pulling and pushing a damaged frame to give it its original shape. However there are times when it is more viable to replace a part.
