Vehicle measuring has never been more important in today's collision repairs. To learn the latest considerations - as well as a better understanding about why measuring is a vital step in the collision repair process - we caught up with industry expert Tyler O'Rourke, senior associate, SME and collision repair technician for I-CAR. Tyler O'Rourke: I believe as vehicle construction technologies advance and improve with every new model release, it is more important than ever to have a vehicle structure as close as possible to how it was when it left the factory. Along with the advancements in how cars are assembled, the materials used have also greatly improved over the years. With the introduction of advanced steels and other stronger alloys or composites, the way collision energy is transferred and absorbed in the vehicle structure has changed. You may see tolerances out of spec much further away from the damage than what might be expected with older vehicles. |
