The Increasing Popularity of Aluminum
As government regulations tighten in regards to fuel economy, automakers increasingly rely on lighter materials, like aluminum, to boost MPG ratings. This allows for the fuel efficiency of your vehicle to better reflect the standards that the government has set. Your savings in fuel efficiency will certainly outweigh the costs for aluminum body repair.
Aluminum vs. Steel
While steel is an easily repaired metal, aluminum is not. You’ll discover that aluminum is more pliable than steel, making it necessary to use special tools to completely repair damage. Also, aluminum reacts differently to heat. If you apply too much heat, aluminum can jeopardize the integrity of the metal. Due to these potential issues with aluminum, our collision center has a special aluminum dent station that will have your vehicle in tip top shape again.

Yes. Unlike steel, aluminum is a very pliable metal, meaning it has no “metal memory.” Steel dents can easily be pulled back into place, but aluminum takes special tools since it’s more difficult to repair.
Corrosion is the main issue when steel and aluminum come into contact. Contamination from steel can begin the corrosion process. It won’t show up right away. It will take months, or even years, before you notice the damage, even from just the dust of a steel body frame.
