Modern luxury vehicles demand more than just traditional bodywork. At Auto Collision Group, we specialize in aluminum auto body repair – a field that requires precise skill, specialized training, and a deep understanding of the unique properties of aluminum. Our facilities, equipment, and technicians are all purpose-built to handle this delicate and highly
technical material. As a certified aluminum body shop, we provide expert aluminum collision repair that meets or exceeds strict manufacturer standards for quality, safety, and longevity.

Aluminum construction is increasingly common in vehicles produced by beloved luxury brands like Audi, Porsche, Tesla, BMW, and more. These manufacturers prioritize lightweight performance, structural integrity, and fuel efficiency, making aluminum the material of choice. But while aluminum offers significant advantages, it also presents unique challenges. It’s not like steel, and treating it like steel is a costly mistake. That’s why aluminum vehicle repair should never be left to a general body shop. It requires a specialized approach – and that’s exactly what we offer at ACG.

ACG excels in providing aluminum repair services, utilizing highly specialized equipment, along with a dedicated repair space, and a team of industry-certified staff to carry out repairs with the utmost quality and care.


ACG has earned certification as an aluminum collision center, demonstrating its technical expertise in repairing vehicles made with aluminum, high-strength steels, and other metals or alloys.

These certifications are essential for safeguarding the fit, finish, durability, value, and safety of vehicles equipped with advanced technologies. ACG diligently adheres to manufacturer specifications and requirements, and its state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with the latest tools, equipment, and training necessary to effectively repair and refinish vehicles constructed with aluminum, high-strength steels, and other metal alloys.

WHY ALUMINUM REPAIRS REQUIRE
A DIFFERENT KIND OF EXPERTISE

Repairing aluminum isn’t just about using different tools
– it’s about understanding the material at its core. Aluminum behaves very differently than steel because it’s lighter, stronger per pound, more resistant to corrosion, and less malleable. That means it doesn’t respond to heat and pressure the way steel does. Proper aluminum structural repair calls for distinct methods, proprietary welding equipment, and precision refinishing practices that are specific to non-ferrous materials.

At Auto Collision Group, we don’t just know these differences – we’ve designed everything about our facilities to properly accommodate them. Every aluminum repair is performed using aluminum car repair techniques that align with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) guidelines. From aluminum body panel repair to full aluminum f rame repair, our work is engineered to maintain your vehicle’s integrity, safety, and value.

A DEDICATED, ALUMINUM-SAFE REPAIR ENVIRONMENT

Not all body shops are created equal, especially when it comes to aluminum. Because aluminum is highly reactive to steel, cross-contamination is a serious risk. Even the smallest steel particle or dust can cause galvanic corrosion when it comes into contact with aluminum. That’s why we’ve invested in a fully separated, aluminum-safe repair environment, physically removed f rom traditional steel work areas.


This specialized space is one of the reasons we’re considered the best aluminum repair shop in Southern California. It’s not just a precaution – it’s a necessity. Without this level of protection, even the best repair techniques could be compromised. At ACG, our cleanroom-like conditions ensure that non-ferrous auto repair is performed without risk of contamination, guaranteeing the long-term integrity of every panel, weld, and surface we touch.

MANUFACTURER CERTIFICATIONS
AND OEM-APPROVED PROCESSES

We are certified by nearly every automotive manufacturer, and we follow strict OEM aluminum repair protocols to guarantee every repair meets factory standards for fit, finish, performance, and safety.


These certifications serve as proof of our ability to meet the demands of elite automotive brands. When owners of a Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, or other luxury car manufacturers require specialized repairs, they expect (and deserve) them to be carried out by certified shops like ours. Whether you’ve experienced a collision or need high-strength aluminum repair due to wear or prior damage, you can trust our team to deliver precision, quality, and durability with every job.

A SPECIALIZED APPROACH THAT NEVER STAYS STILL

Aluminum repair is constantly evolving. As vehicle designs become more advanced and materials science pushes the boundaries of performance, our team remains committed to staying ahead of the curve. Through ongoing education, f requent retraining, and direct collaboration with OEMs, we continually refine our techniques and invest in the latest technology.


Every technician at Auto Collision Group receives hands-on training in automotive aluminum repair, including advanced welding, riveting, and bonding techniques. We don’t just follow standards – we play a significant role in setting them. This commitment to progress allows us to work confidently on today’s most complex vehicles, including those constructed f rom aluminum, high-strength steels, and other advanced alloys. Our customers trust us with some of the most technologically sophisticated vehicles on the road, and we honor that trust by never cutting corners, never skipping steps, and always delivering results we can proudly stand behind.

ADVANCED EQUIPMENT, TRAINED PROFESSIONALS, AND CUTTING-EDGE CAPABILITIES

Repairing aluminum is truly a specialized craft. It demands not only experience, but also access to specialized tools and technologies. At ACG, our facilities are fully equipped with the advanced equipment required for aluminum bodywork repair, including:


• Aluminum-specific welding systems
• Riveting tools and bonding equipment
• Dust extraction systems for contamination prevention
• Precision measuring systems for f rame alignment
• Heat control technology for material preservation


These tools, combined with the expertise of our certified technicians, enable us to handle everything f rom minor aluminum body panel repair to complex aluminum f rame repair following severe structural damage.

Many traditional shops approach aluminum the same way they approach steel, and that’s where serious problems begin. The truth is that aluminum and steel are not interchangeable. They’re not the same in structure, not alike in behavior, and certainly not similar in repair methodology. Attempting to treat them the same way often results in improper bonding, structural weakness, corrosion, and costly long-term issues.

 Our team understands the importance of this distinction, which is why we approach every aluminum vs. steel auto body repair scenario with thoughtful evaluation, technical precision, and a deep respect for the vehicle’s original engineering. It’s how we protect your investment and restore your vehicle the right way every single time.
