Driving around in Clairton, PA you pass a shop that says Tachoir Auto Body Shop. As you drive by you wonder what an auto body shop does. Are they the car shops that can help you get an alignment or the shops that can give your car a nice paint job?
Auto body shops can cover a wide range of services, some of the most common services that they provide are:
Dent Removal
Dents can come from weather, other cars, runaway shopping carts, and so many other different aspects of everyday life. Due to them being able to come from so many different parts of our lives, dent repair tends to be the most common work that an auto body shop does.
There are two types of dent repair that most centers do, paintless dent repair and traditional dent repair.
- Paintless dent repair: This repair method is for dents that have occurred where the paint has not been damaged. A lot of the time it comes from hail damage. This method involves applying pressure to the dent so that it can be worked back into the proper shape.
- Traditional dent repair: This repair method is for those situations where your paint has been damaged. This is seen in many car accidents where there is paint transfer or scratches. This repair method is more in-depth and time-consuming because not only is the dent being fixed but the paint is as well.
Do it yourself dent repair has become popular, however, this can be risky. You run the risk of damaging the paint or even the panel that is dented if you do not have the right tools or car knowledge. It is safer for your car and your wallet to take your car to a certified center to repair the damage.
