Accidents happen, but that's ok, that's why we're for! Here we will discuss the most common body components that are susceptible to damage, how to spot them, and how to get in contact with our team to resolve them promptly and effectively.
The Most Common Components in Need of Body Repair
Body Panel Repair
One of the most common body repairs for heavy-duty trucks is bumper repair. Whether it's due to a minor fender bender or a more significant collision, work is required to restore your truck's bumper to its original condition.
Fenders are susceptible to damage from road debris, harsh weather conditions, and accidents. Repairing or replacing damaged fenders is essential to ensuring the safety and aesthetics of your heavy-duty truck.
Door Repair
Damage to truck doors is not uncommon, especially in busy loading and unloading environments. Common door issues include panel replacement and realignment.
Grille Repair
The grille is not only a crucial component for the truck's aesthetic appeal but also protects your engine, radiator, cooling fan and fan clutch, from debris. A damaged grille hampers optimal airflow and engine protection.
Signs You Need Body Repair
Dents and Dings
Visible dents and dings on your truck's body are signs that it may require body repair. Even minor damage can compromise the structural integrity of your vehicle, so it's important to address these issues promptly to prevent further problems.
Scratches and Paint Damage
Scratches and paint damage not only affect the appearance of your truck but can also lead to rust and corrosion if left untreated. This will require professional paint matching and refinishing to restore your truck's finish to its original glory.
Misaligned Panels
Misaligned or uneven panels on your truck are an indication that body repair may be needed. Misaligned panels can affect the aerodynamics and overall performance of your vehicle, so it's crucial to have them corrected as quickly as possible.
