Auto Appearance Repair.
Ask 10 people to give you their definition of "AUTO APPEARANCE REPAIR". You'll probably get 10 different answers! It means different things to different people! A.A.R. is a multi-billion dollar industry that provides car dealers with the ability to repair the minor damage that many cars sustain in normal everyday use. It consists of five main areas: paint touch- up, interior restoration, windshield repair, paintless dent removal and detailing. The industry is definitely not new it has been around for many years.
In the past A.A.R. has been targeted exclusively at the used car trade. Car dealers use A.A.R. for two main reasons 1) They want you to believe that they only buy perfect used vehicles for resale. By looking as perfect as possible it creates the idea that the car has been very carefully maintained. 2) Appearance sells. A car that looks great sells faster and at a better price.
Paint Touch-up:
Paint touch-up usually refers to rock chip and scratch repair. By using a variety of methods like airbrushing, paint injection or brushes, rock chips and many scratches can be repaired at a fraction of the time and cost of using a body shop.
Bumper and panel repair:
Today’s bumpers and panels can damage easily. Fortunately, most of this damage can be repaired relatively quickly. Many times, the entire bumper or panel does not require repainting. By blending rather than repainting, you retain most of the original factory finish. Damage ranging from simple blemishes and scrapes to holes in plastic bumpers can be repaired without losing your car to a body shop or having the expense of buying a new bumper.
Car Interior:
It is the inside of our cars that get the most wear and tear. With the many accessories available for today’s vehicle, it is not uncommon to find screw holes or tears in the plastic panels or dashboards of used cars. This damage is usually repairable. Also, worn, scuffed or torn leather seats can be repaired or re-dyed to look new again.
Bad odors Elimination:
With all of us spending more and more time on the road, our vehicles can lose that fresh new smell. This can be restored by using special products to clean deep in to the plastics and leather, steam cleaning the carpets and finally fogging the vehicle with a special odor nullifying vapor. This vapor also penetrates the air-conditioning system to destroy bacteria and other odors that lurk there.
Windshield damage repair:
Windshield damage caused by stones hitting glass normally falls into two types, stars and bulls eyes. Both are usually repairable. By using a vacuum method to remove as much air as possible from the damaged area, the adhesive is drawn as deep into the damage as possible. It is then cured with UV light to produce a repair that is virtually invisible and restores the strength of your windshield again.
