Aluminum Repair Our Expert Process
Aluminum is a lightweight and strong material that is commonly used in modern vehicles, but it requires specific tools, equipment, and techniques to repair The process of aluminum repair typically involves the following steps:
- Vehicle Evaluation:
The initial step in aluminum repair involves a thorough evaluation of the vehicle’s damage to determine the most suitable repair method, often using specialized equipment like ultrasound or x-ray machines to detect hidden issues. - Disassembly:
Following the evaluation, damaged components are disassembled from the vehicle. This process may require removing interior elements or other parts to access the affected area. - Straightening:
When aluminum panels or frames are bent or distorted, precise straightening techniques and specialized tools, including hydraulic presses or heat applications, are employed to restore their original shape. - Welding:
In cases where aluminum panels or frames are cracked or broken, welding techniques come into play. The repair necessitates specialized equipment, welding rods, shielding gases, and precise temperature control to ensure a durable and reliable fix. - Finishing:
After welding and straightening, the repaired area is meticulously sanded, primed, and painted to match the vehicle’s overall appearance. The chosen paint and finish must be formulated for use on aluminum surfaces to guarantee a lasting and resilient repair.

Tactical Collision did a great job in repairing my vehicle, it looks like it just came out of the showroom. I highly recommend them for any work you may need.
Michael D.
We had a great experience with tactical collision. They did a great job on my car. They got it done quickly. They were very communicative. Can’t say enough good things.

They were very communicative and professional. My car looked great without the aftermarket parts that many of the chain/franchise collision places normally use. I will definitely recommend Tactical to my friends and family

They repaired my 2024 4Runner and came in under budget. They also pulled out a small unassociated dent for free. Austin is great to work with. It was a few miles further from other shops but I'd quickly do it again. Also it's locally small business owned. You can't go wrong with them.

I’ve had my Cadillac Escalade repaired here twice now, and both times the work has been absolutely flawless. From start to finish, the staff was professional, friendly, and incredibly courteous to my schedule, making the whole process stress-free.The attention to detail is incredible. My Escalade looked showroom new each time I picked it up. You would never know it had been in an accident! The paint match was perfect, the bodywork was seamless, and they handled everything with such care.On top of that, their price was the best after looking around. Tactical Collision has amazing quality without the inflated cost. It’s rare to find a collision center you can trust completely, but this team has earned my loyalty. I hope I don’t need bodywork again anytime soon, but if I do, there’s no question where I’ll go. Highly recommend!

I bought an aftermarket bumper and needed it installed. I called around a few places and Tactical gave me the best quote. I dropped it off right when they opened on a Tuesday morning, and they had a it ready for me to be picked up by closing time that evening as requested. If I ever need any more body work done for my 1997 Jeep Wrangler I would bring it back here without hesitation.

Had an issue with car in Montana while driving home. Called Tactical Collision ordered the part over the phone. When we reached SC the part was in and less than 48 hours later and car was fixed. Staff was great. Communications were on point. Best repair experience in a long time. Go see these people, they make repair of a vehicle less painful.

Austin has repaired two of my vehicles in the last year. I will not go anywhere else. I am very fortunate that I found this shop first, being new to the area. His repairs are spot on, and the color match is perfect. I highly recommend this shop. I tell all my friends; this is the only place to take your vehicle.
