All modern vehicles are constructed using a range of metals and materials in their construction to help improve performance and fuel efficiency by reducing weight, structural rigidity for better handling and ever increasing safety cell improvements. All these design and construction features need to be considered when assessing and repairing a vehicle and while every customer is entitled to expect their vehicle to appear to have been returned to its pre-accident condition externally these elements need to have been properly and professionally attended to if the vehicle is going to perform and be as safe to use as the manufacturer intended.
