Aluminum Auto Body Repair The Collision Star

Aluminum Body Repair

The Collision Star provides the industry’s most trusted collision repair service, and that includes aluminum repair work. We proudly offer complete aluminum repair service to our customers.

We spent years training our technicians and equipping our facilities in preparation for aluminum body repair. We’re proud to say that we are currently leading the way in high-quality aluminum repair work.

We understand the significant differences between working on steel versus aluminum repairs. Sending your vehicle to a shop that doesn’t understand these distinctions may do more, if not irreparable, damage to your vehicle. That’s why we trained our employees to expertly mend aluminum and comprehend how it varies from steel. Our technicians recognize that aluminum doesn’t have the same moldable properties that steel does, nor does it respond to heat as well as steel does. Aluminum is also much stronger and weighs less than steel, allowing aluminum to be a great asset when a truck needs both towing capacities as well as better gas mileage. This is one of the key reasons aluminum requires more attentive care than steel does.

Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless Dent Repair

The Collision Star Paintless dent repair (PDR), also known as paintless dent removal, describes a method of removing minor dents from the body of a motor vehicle. A wide range of damage can be repaired using PDR as long as the paint surface is intact. PDR may be used on both aluminum and steel panels.

The most common practical use for PDR is the repair of hail damage, door dings, minor creases, large dents and body lines damage.

The method can also be utilized to prepare a damaged panel for repainting by minimizing the use of body filler.

Computerized Frame Straightening

At The Collision Star, our frame straightening machine consists of a platform broad enough to hold a car, SUV or pickup truck, and two or three upright posts or towers that can be rotated 360-degrees and moved along the platform perimeter to work on different areas of a vehicle frame. Our Most up to date machines use computerized line-of-sight lasers or sonic senders to assess a car’s frame and diagnose how much damage it has sustained. These diagnostics are used to determine whether the vehicle is repairable, and to provide an estimate of how long the repair should take, which is necessary to calculate the cost. This on-board measuring equipment is also used to ensure that a repair is performed accurately.

Auto Detailing

Auto Detailing The Collision Star

Auto Detailing

Detailing is generally broken down into two categories: exterior and interior (or cabin). Some products and services focus on these two areas specifically.

Exterior detailing involves cleaning, and either restoring or exceeding the original condition of the surface of the car’s finish (usually paint with a glossy finish), chrome trim, windows, wheels, and tires, as well as other visible components on a vehicle’s exterior.

Interior detailing involves a deep cleaning of the whole interior cabin. Vehicle interiors of the last 50 years comprise a variety of materials, such as synthetic carpet upholstery, vinyl, leather, various natural fibers, carbon fiber composites, plastics, and others, which necessitates the use of a variety of cleaning techniques and products. Vacuuming is standard, and upholstery stains may be removed using steam cleaning, liquid and foam chemicals, as well as brushes. Additionally, some nonporous surfaces may be polished.
