Modern vehicles are evolving—and so is the way we repair them. At Kunes Auto Body, we’re proud to offer certified aluminum repair services for high-performance and luxury vehicles that utilize lightweight aluminum construction. From Ford’s military-grade aluminum F-150 to cutting-edge brands like Tesla, Audi, and Jaguar, aluminum is becoming the new standard in vehicle design—and we’re here to meet that challenge with precision and expertise.

Repairing aluminum is not the same as repairing steel. Aluminum is lighter and more resistant to corrosion, but it also reacts differently under stress, heat, and impact. Here’s what makes aluminum repair unique:

• No Memory Effect: Unlike steel, aluminum doesn't "remember" its original shape, which means it can't be reshaped using traditional dent repair techniques. It often requires panel replacement or advanced reshaping tools.
• No Cross-Contamination Allowed: When steel and aluminum particles mix during the repair process, it creates a chemical reaction that leads to corrosion. That’s why aluminum repairs must be performed in isolated aluminum repair bays—something we’ve specifically built into our facility.
• Requires Specialized Tools & Training: Aluminum demands its own set of tools, including non-ferrous welding equipment, self-piercing rivets, bonding agents, and dedicated aluminum body stations. Our technicians are I-CAR certified and trained in the latest OEM-approved techniques.

Many automakers are adopting aluminum to reduce weight and improve performance, fuel efficiency, and handling. We proudly offer aluminum repair services for a wide range of makes and models, including but not limited to:

• Ford F-150, Super Duty, and Expedition
• Tesla Model S, Model X, Model Y, and Model 3
• Audi A8, Q7, and TT
• Jaguar XF, XJ, F-PACE
• Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and more
