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.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience. The bill came in where he quoted it, they were able to get my vehicle done quick, the work was great and looked like it did when it came from the factory. There was great communication through the whole process. Hopefully I won’t have to be back anytime soon but when I need anything auto body related he will be my first stop.

I love this company! They are the best of the best! Look no further for your one and only car repair shop! They are awesome, efficient, super friendly and pay close attention to all the details from start to finish. They work with your insurance company even if your insurance company doesn't list them as a "provider". I ignored State Farms list and refused to see who they wanted me to see! So I called up Tactical because I knew if I ever needed work to be done you can't get any better than this shop! Tactical handles it all! They are the local shop that you want to support! The Real Deal! Thank you Tactical for repairing my car after it was hit and then getting off some nasty paint that I accidentally rolled into:-)

Awesome repair job done recently by Austin and his team. What had to be replaced was replaced, but what could be repaired was repaired, saving me in the end. Great communication throughout, and the end result was beautiful. Couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend. Getting a car fixed after an accident is stressful enough, and Austin made it a bit less stressful. Thank you much!
