What Is the Difference Between Collision Repair and Auto Body Repair?
Many people use the terms “collision repair” and “auto body repair” interchangeably, but they refer to different types of services. At Auto Body of Los Angeles, we specialize in both, ensuring that your car is restored to its original condition after an accident.
Collision Repair
Collision repair refers to the process of fixing the structural and functional aspects of your car after a collision. This may include:
- Frame Damage Repair: If the vehicle's frame is bent or misaligned, it needs to be repaired to restore the car's handling and safety.
- Suspension Repair: Collision impacts often damage the suspension system, which affects how the car drives and handles.
- Mechanical Repairs: Some collisions can damage internal components like the engine, transmission, or cooling system, all of which may need repair.
Auto Body Repair
Auto body repair, on the other hand, focuses on fixing the cosmetic and exterior parts of your vehicle. Common services include:
- Dent and Scratch Repair: Repairing or replacing damaged panels, bumpers, and other exterior components.
