The process of fixing an auto body has changed a lot over the years. There are both old and new techniques of fixing the body of a vehicle, but some of the older techniques are also great for modern vehicles.
Much of the repairs that are made to the body of a vehicle are done to the sheet metal that the vehicle's body is made from. There is a certain structure to the inside of the sheet metal, and this is what often needs to be fixed in order to repair the body. It's important that the auto body professional has a lot of experience with working with sheet metal and knows how to repair the structure of it.
Sheet metal inside a vehicle has many stress points, and understanding where those are located and how to fix them is important to the repair job. Old techniques of heating up bent areas to reshape them won't work on today's vehicles. However, there are many helpful ways to repair this kind of damage to the body.
