Additional information about the service
The rocker panels of a vehicle are not just decorative elements; they are an important part of the body that contributes to strength and safety. Over time, corrosion can develop, and mechanical damage from impacts or improper lifting of the car only exacerbates the situation. Our specialists offer quality Rocker Panel Repair to restore your vehicle's reliability and neat appearance.
Diagnosis and preparatory work
First, we thoroughly inspect the rocker panels to determine the extent of damage and corrosion. This is important because in some cases, a complete replacement is necessary, while in others, restoration is sufficient. To access the rocker panels, we remove the seats, carpets, and adjacent panels, allowing us to work as carefully and efficiently as possible.
Restoration and repair
If the rocker panel can be salvaged, we straighten deformed areas, remove rust, and treat the metal with special agents to protect against further corrosion. In cases of severe damage, the affected section is cut out and replaced with a new element, while strictly adhering to the technology of fastening and welding to maintain the structural integrity. After all work is completed, the surface is carefully sanded and prepared for painting.
Final finishing and inspection
The final stage includes applying high-quality paint that not only gives the rocker panels a neat appearance but also provides protection against moisture and dirt. We also check the accuracy of the installation and ensure that all elements are securely fastened. Rocker Panel Repair is performed with all safety requirements in mind, so you can be confident in the reliability of your vehicle.
