Panel beating techniques for modern cars

So, when it comes to smash repairs you need a panel beater who is up to date with the times. Constant training with industry-leaders and refining best-practice panel beating methods are just the tip of the iceberg. Approaches to panel beating, technology and materials need to reflect the changes in how modern cars are made.

What exactly makes cars made from 2010 so different? And why should you only trust the best when it comes to these modern machines? Read more below, or call our friendly team.

What's new in cars?

We all know that cars are mostly made out of metal – a steel uni-body, to be precise. Then there's metal panels, plastic, rubber, glass, wires and much much more. Traditional, old-school panel beaters mostly deal in steel and plastic.

But there have been plenty of obvious changes in the automotive world, and plenty coming up too (did I hear you say self-driving cars?). The challenge for leaders in the panel beating world is to keep up to date with this rapid pace of change, as well as be aware of the changes that aren't immediately visible.

For cars developed after 2010, there are plenty of these changes. In particular, manufacturers are employing a range of new materials and technology. Some of these innovations include the use of high-tensile steel and aluminium, as well as the ever-increasingly use of sophisticated electronics, sensors, cameras and airbags.

What's the risk with cheap panel beaters?

With all the newest developments in cars and panel beating, there's always a lot to learn. This means that panel beaters need to make investments in modern equipment and quality materials. This is especially true for those with a prestige vehicle, such as Porsche, BMW, or Mercedes!

Among poor training, equipment and materials, the risk of going with a cheap panel beater is that they are not always completely up-to-date with modern modern cars and technology. New cars require a new level of technical knowledge that is only achievable through on-going training.

Without this expertise, your car runs the risk of being repaired using dated panel beating techniques.
