With Ford’s newest F-150 trucks featuring an aluminum body, bed and support, collision repair shops have not only had to learn how to repair aluminum vehicle parts, but also had to establish safe, isolated environments for aluminum repairs.
The need for an isolated work area for aluminum repair is not a matter of preference, opinion or regulation, but a matter of science and safety. Aluminum and steel don’t mix, and if they do get together during the repair process, the results can be catastrophic.
To prevent contamination from compromising the repair and protect your employees, aluminum repair work must be performed in an isolated area with a dedicated set of tools. GFS’ aluminum repair stations are flexible, effective solutions for proper isolation of aluminum repair processes.
For Dan Tronrud, a bigger footprint means a bigger business and bigger expectations from insurance companies. So when Osceola Auto Body doubled their space in 2022, with an 11,820-square-foot expansion, Tronrud knew GFS equipment could help his shop deliver 1,100-plus repair orders and more than $4 million in sales this year.
Upgrading his existing GFS equipment, General Manager, Dennis Auld, decided to enclose his Closed-Top Open-Front (CTOF) Booth to increase finish quality and decrease energy costs.
For their new body shop, Olson Tire & Auto Service added a custom Side-Load Finishing System from Global Finishing Solutions (GFS), complete with an Ultra XD Paint Booth, dual-bay Ultra XD CTOF, Aluminum Repair Station and Ultra XD Paint Mix Room. GFS and Chassis Liner Supply collaborated to provide a product with the performance that the customer expected.
