You are always angry, the little dings and parking bumps, which is hardly a vehicle spares. Many drivers pay little attention to these mini-damage. However, the car is for sale or lease return, the moment of truth, the trouble is inevitable. The car must be in the workshop, and the repair bill comes mostly from juicy.
But even the smallest accident damage must be more expensive? The experts from the Society for Technical Supervision GTÜ in Stuttgart have now points to alternative repair methods that can be drawn with minor accident damage to the outer skin of the brakes. Many service centers are now working with the appropriate smart repair programs.
A distinction is made between the expressions in this method from inside by means of appropriate tools and leverage the exhaust method from the outside. Up to 80 percent of the costs can be saved in small bumps, know GTÜ experts. With the push method to make dents with a depth of one millimeter and a diameter of up to "rub out" completely to six centimeters, without damage to the paint.
First, the damaged area is heated to about 70 degrees so the paint does not crack when smoothing. From the other side of the plate can then use special tools and squeeze a lot of sensitivity to slow boil. The push method can not be applied to all body parts. The treatment area must be accessible to the use of special tool.
Major body damage can be with another alternative method of repair fix quickly. Especially in places that are inaccessible from the inside, is expected this process. Thus, for example, at a door, the trim can not be reduced. Here is a small metal pin is welded directly to the bruise. Subsequently, the dent is pulled out electro, twisted off the metal pin and ground off.
However, it must be painted with this method, the test site. Inexpensive can now also repair small glass damage. The disk only needs to be renewed completely, in rare cases. Small cracks and point of damage as caused for example by falling rocks will be removed with resin adhesives. With the help of a hard metal mandrel, the insertion site is cleaned.
Then sucks in air from the injector from the injury site, while simultaneously closes the gap repair resin. The resin has a similar light refractive index as glass, thus ensuring permanent location for any insight. The resin repair should not be run in direct line of vision. Also in terms of plastic repair a lot has changed.
Meanwhile, improved repair materials are available that enable high quality and safe repair of all types of plastic. An exact identification of the plastic is no longer necessary. It is sufficient if the expert classifies the material in the workshop as flexible, semi-rigid or rigid. He may even - depending on the product - all with a single plastic repair material in place prior.
Both scratches, cracks and holes and broken fasteners on the bumper can be back in order. Of course there are also technical and economic limitations for plastic repair. When has changed the shape of the plastic part or assume the cost of the spare parts prices, one should refrain from making a repair.
Another area of savings, especially in older vehicles, the accident repair of used and technically correct replacement parts. This must be carefully examined before a repair, however, which used parts may be used. Without doubts this is true for body parts theft Riesch, due for used welding parts, say the experts GTÜ.
