Hidden Damage
What You Can't See . . .
After
an accident, what you can't see may be more important than what you can.
This is why it's vitally important to have your vehicle fully
restored to its pre-accident condition by an authorized and reputable
auto body repair facility. What is at stake is not just the proper functioning
of your vehicle, but also your driving safety.
What Can Happen
Unfortunately,
the list is almost endless. Frontal collisions often produce damage not
only to the fenders, hood and grille areas, but may also damage engine
and suspension components as well. Frontal collisions are not the only
cause of significant "hidden" damage. Damage to a vehicle's
undercarriage and frame can also occur in many other types of impact -
even in
seemingly minor collisions. It is critical that this type of damage be
looked for and properly repaired to restore the proper driving safety
of your vehicle. Many modern vehicles utilize a modified frame, called
unitized construction, where certain body panels actually comprise part
of the vehicle's frame. Here again, it is critical that the vehicle be
properly checked and repaired using specialized frame measuring and straightening
equipment to properly restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
