Aluminum Repair Specialists
Certified Aluminum Repair Capability for Modern Vehicles
Certified aluminum repair capability for modern vehicles.
Providence Auto Body is certified to repair aluminum vehicles, including advanced aluminum body construction used by today's manufacturers. As Rhode Island's first shop certified to repair Ford aluminum body vehicles, our facility has invested in the training, equipment, and repair processes required for modern aluminum collision repair.
Aluminum repair requires a different approach than traditional steel repair. The material responds differently to heat, welding, bonding, straightening, and structural repair procedures. Our technicians are trained to understand those differences and apply the proper repair method for the vehicle.
Repair Work That Respects Aluminum Construction
Modern aluminum vehicles require specialized repair knowledge. Included in the certification process is training on how aluminum reacts during collision repair, how the material should be handled, and which procedures are approved for safe and accurate repair.
Our aluminum repair process may involve specialized welding techniques, approved adhesives, rivet procedures, heating limits, part replacement decisions, and material-specific repair planning. These details matter because aluminum construction is not repaired the same way as steel.
