What aluminum repair certification means
Aluminum is not repaired like steel. It conducts heat quickly, does not show stress the way steel does, and corrodes if steel dust gets on it. That is why carmakers limit aluminum structural repair to shops with separate aluminum tools, a separate work area and technicians trained on that brand.
An aluminum certification is issued by the carmaker, not by the shop. Each program checks the shop’s aluminum work area, tools and training before it lets the shop do aluminum structural repairs on that brand.

Training and equipment

- Aluminum tools: Self-piercing rivet and riveting tools, aluminum MIG welding, aluminum dent extraction and adhesive bonding, as required by each certifying carmaker.

Aluminum repair FAQ
Which brands is Oxmoor Collision Center certified to repair in aluminum?
Ford, Lincoln, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar and Land Rover. For other brands we repair or replace aluminum parts by following that carmaker’s procedures.
Is aluminum frame repair the same as steel frame repair?
No. Aluminum structures are often riveted and bonded instead of welded, and many structural aluminum parts are replaced rather than straightened. See our frame repair page for steel and unibody work.
Will you repair my aluminum panel or replace it?
It depends on the part and the damage. We follow the carmaker’s repair procedures for your exact vehicle. Some aluminum panels can be repaired with aluminum dent tools. Others, including many structural parts, must be replaced with genuine parts. We explain which and why on your estimate.
Does aluminum repair cost more than steel repair?
Often a little, because aluminum takes more labor, special tools and sometimes more parts. Your free estimate lists every part and operation, and we work directly with your insurance company.
Can I choose Oxmoor Collision Center if my insurer suggests another shop?
Yes. You choose where your vehicle is repaired. We work with all major insurance companies and handle the claim paperwork. See our insurance partners.
