Some collision damage reaches the body’s structural parts, with damage so extensive that core body parts may be bent, twisted and stressed. Therefore, use of body and frame correction equipment is necessary. Outer panels will also need to be repaired or replaced.
During major body damage repairs, it is vitally important to measure the entire vehicle body, not just the impact area, to correctly diagnose dispersed damage. The amount of estimated and actual repair hours is heavily dependent upon correct preliminary body damage measurements and diagnosis.
