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 frame 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 from 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.

A SPECIALIZED APPROACH THAT NEVER STAYS STILL

Every technician at Auto Collision Group receives hands-on training in automotive aluminum repair, including advanced welding, riveting, and bonding techniques.

This commitment to progress allows us to work confidently on today’s most complex vehicles, including those constructed from 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 frame alignment
• Heat control technology for material preservation
These tools, combined with the expertise of our certified technicians, enable us to handle everything from minor aluminum body panel repair to complex aluminum frame 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.
