Auto Body Repair 101 (Understanding the basics)

The first step to collision repair is understanding what happens to metal when it is bent or damaged. Work hardening is a contributing factor to a lot of frustration for repair technicians.

I'm in college for collision repair and thought I'd see if I can pick up anything extra. This definitely helped man.

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Easily the best career for vehicles. Would much rather do paint and collision repair than mechanic. Excellent vid man

*AUTO BODY TAINING SOLUTIONS I have a question: For example when a vehicle/car has been rear ended by a tractor trailer truck (hitting one side of the rear bumper) cracking the bumper / ripping off one of the tail lights aka brake lights and smashing the rear quarter panel...... QUESTION ONE (1) What are other possible issues that are likely to have occurred to the vehicle that the naked eye and non mechanics/non body shop specialists would not be aware of* *could yah list the guestimate price for each repair including the obvious repair/replacement of the bumper, tail light and rear quarter panel*

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

The vehicle needs to be inspected underneath for possible frame damage, possible exhaust system damage and suspension damage. These areas are difficult to assess by the nonprofessional but can be the most critical and expensive repairs. It’s impossible to give even a guesstimate on this because of so many unknowns. Can the panels be repaired or do they need replacing? Is the trunk or hatch damaged? There’s could be issues with rear body panel and trunk floor. It’s too big of a question for the scope of this analysis. I suggest have a local repair shop give you their suggestions. Thanks for your comment

[@a2relectronics808]

Hello Sir, just wanted to ask what is the best source of information to find the body dimensions when working on a frame rail that is out of alignment ?

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

If you do a google search there are many sources of measuring data available. I’m not sure how many are free to access but Mitchell is one of the biggest. I’ve used Chief and Shark for years but those were a paid subscription to go along with the computerized measuring systems that I used at work. All Data is another popular one so you should find something to give you length and width dimensions. Thanks for watching

@@autobodytrainingsolutions838 Thank you

[@mimilu2959]

I did few panels and I made same mistakes just like you said in this video😂

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

Very common mistake but important to understand it and learn from it. Once you know why that happens it’s easy to correct . Thanks for watching

[@TheOlveraFam]

Nowadays most repair shops won’t even repair that though just buy a new fender. Most of these new body guys are just part replacement technicians

[@MyDyerMaker]

It's almost always cheaper for the customer to do that.

[@robertjustis7588]

You can park on the side with the ups mailbox. I have to wait on the ups guy.

A trade school partnered with my highschool offers autobody with state of the ary equipment, i signed up for next years classes so i hope i get in. Itll give me a chance to also earn college credits along with icar certifications

Is auto body and collision repair the same?

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

Same thing although auto body could be restoration instead of collision. Thanks for watching

[@MrZimmaframe]

I hear a lot of this is wrong but not a lot of this is how you do it right..

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

I’m pretty sure you heard wrong. Thanks anyway

[@ziggyc4474]

What the difference tho?

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

Can you explain your question a little better. Not sure what your asking. Thanks

[@JohnDoeja]

I am in this program that is going to pay for my schooling. I'm thinking of either going to auto body mechanic class or ac and heating. Any suggestions?

[@autobodytrainingsolutions838]

Go with what you like to do. If you’re going to make a career out of it, you should do something that you enjoy. That’s about all the help I can offer. Thanks for watching
