Aluminum Repair Our Expert Process
Aluminum is a lightweight and strong material that is commonly used in modern vehicles, but it requires specific tools, equipment, and techniques to repair The process of aluminum repair typically involves the following steps:
- Vehicle Evaluation:
The initial step in aluminum repair involves a thorough evaluation of the vehicle’s damage to determine the most suitable repair method, often using specialized equipment like ultrasound or x-ray machines to detect hidden issues. - Disassembly:
Following the evaluation, damaged components are disassembled from the vehicle. This process may require removing interior elements or other parts to access the affected area. - Straightening:
When aluminum panels or frames are bent or distorted, precise straightening techniques and specialized tools, including hydraulic presses or heat applications, are employed to restore their original shape. - Welding:
In cases where aluminum panels or frames are cracked or broken, welding techniques come into play. The repair necessitates specialized equipment, welding rods, shielding gases, and precise temperature control to ensure a durable and reliable fix. - Finishing:
After welding and straightening, the repaired area is meticulously sanded, primed, and painted to match the vehicle’s overall appearance. The chosen paint and finish must be formulated for use on aluminum surfaces to guarantee a lasting and resilient repair.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:
I could not have anything better to say about my experience! Johnny & the crew at iNetwork are SO great! I had consistent communication while my car was being worked on, they answered all of my questions regarding insurance, and made me feel so comfortable. Truly they went above and beyond! They even vaccumed & washed my car - I got it back better than expected! Worth the drive from Charlotte 🙂

Great experience with iNetwork Auto Collision. They repaired my Audi and the job they did was truly outstanding. They really went above and beyond to get our car back to where it was before the accident. The staff are very friendly and professional, and the job was completed on time. I will recommend them to anyone I know who is in need of repairs and will be coming back to them for all our future repairs.

Let me tell you about customer service! Austin and his team were fantastic. I had a problem with my car and they helped me get it fixed and wouldn’t even let me pay.You don’t find people like that very often in the world anymore and so if you have anything wrong with your car, I would say bring it down here and I know for sure if we do …..we will be back down Here to have them work on our vehicle . What a blessing to run in to this caliber of people.😁

Everyone I've encountered at iNetwork are extremely nice. Very knowledgeable and upfront with pricing and keep you notified every step of the way. Even gave me a ride to work and dropped car off when completed. Definitely made me a loyal customer and I will be sending anyone I know over that way.

We had an awesome experience getting our Tesla repaired. All was super easy, with great and very friendly customer service and our car looked like new after repairs were done. We were glad we found this shop!

Fantastic Service. They could have charged me a lot to do an exterior mirror replacement, but instead they just popped a mirror in and saved me a bundle.

I have had minor bumper crash into my garage for my Mercedez. My insurance gave me option to go to their preferred shop - the mass managed - Caliber in Indian Land. They always say well insurance says you must bring car on mondays or not later than wednesday blah blah - when I am paying through my insurance why they side with insurance?They even scheduled for Friday and I was 30 min late and they were like sorry we cannot accept etc.Luckily I already spoke with Austin earlier and got his opinion on how to get this fixed.I called up Austin and see if he can fix mine instead of giving to stupid Caliber.He was so nice and said yes I can bring any time that works for me. The way shops used to do business with customers.Luckily parts were also available and they did wonderful job to fix mine within 10 days - way faster than anyone else.They did amazing quality work and I recommend to go your choice - such as iNetwork - dont fall in trap of Insurance nonsense.

My stinger lost an argument with an F350 leaving the front right a total mess. When I picked it up, looked and drove just like when I took it off the showroom floor.
