Why aluminum structural repairs require a specialist
Aluminum is strong, lightweight, and highly corrosion-resistant. But it doesn’t behave like traditional steel.
That means:
- It can’t be repaired with steel tools or general equipment
- It requires precise, clean, heat-controlled techniques
- It demands OEM-trained technicians who understand exact tolerances
Unlike steel, aluminum doesn’t “bounce back” from impact. If it’s bent, cracked, or torn, it must be straightened, welded, or replaced with millimeter-level precision.
And that’s not something just any body shop can do.
Dedicated aluminum repair facility in Oakville
We are one of the few collision repair shops in Canada to build a dedicated aluminum repair facility, equipped with tools that are specifically designed for aluminum restoration.
- Contamination-free repairs – Aluminum and steel must be kept separate during repair to avoid corrosion and structural issues. Our clean room is fully isolated to prevent cross-contamination.
- Specialized tools & welders – We use manufacturer-specified tools to ensure proper alignment, welding temperatures, and surface treatment.
- OEM-Certified technicians – All of our aluminum repair technicians are trained and certified by major OEMs. They follow strict factory procedures for frame repair, welding, riveting, and panel replacement.
