Repair of Major Body Damage

~1min read

If serious damage has occurred or a large number of parts must be replaced, have this work performed by a professional at a service station. If the damage was caused by a collision, the body shape must also be restored. Due to design principles, damage to individual components may affect the shape and load distribution of the vehicle. In such cases, consult a specialist who will determine whether parts must be replaced. If the body shape is not restored, the vehicle will not handle properly, and uneven loads on the suspension, transmission and steering will cause uneven wear or complete failure. Tire wear may also become excessive.
