There are many types of Car Repair in Omaha NE, but some of the toughest jobs come from vehicles that have been damaged in an accident. A collision in your car or truck can cause a lot more than just cosmetic damage. In fact, many collisions wreak havoc on the engine, drive train or steering and require extensive mechanical repairs just to put them back on the road. Unfortunately, this can leave you without transportation much longer than you may have hoped for. This can often be avoided by use of an insurance covered rental vehicle.

Automobile collisions can do a lot of visible damage. Really severe accidents can crumple the whole front clip and require a lot of replacement parts to fix the problem. The front of the vehicle is designed to be taken apart. This makes repairs much easier. In some cases the shop may be able to remove parts like the fenders and hammer the damage back out. However, this is usually an option of last resort because it is much quicker, and usually more cost effective, to replace a damaged item instead. One benefit to removing these parts is that the replacement item is generally primed from the factory. This makes it much easier to apply paint at the conclusion of the repair.

Certain types of Car Repair in Omaha NE can be handled without too much fuss. If the vehicle has been dented, but the damage hasn’t creased the metal or cracked the paint it may be possible to pop out the dent. This is known as paintless dent repair. It works because modern paint is resilient enough to handle some stretching like that which can occur during an impact. This technique may not be possible if the paint has been damaged or the metal has a crease because more work is required to finish the repair. However, it may still be possible to pop out the dent and blend the new paint into the old. Such a repair requires a skilled touch in order to keep it from being visible. The paint needs to be custom matched to allow for aging and fading.
