RD9A- Understanding Design Based Repairs

Richard Perry, CHIEF Automotive

The course will help attendees understand necessary information about the new metals being used in the construction of today’s vehicles, and how they impact the repair process. We will discuss methods for metal identification and the proper repair methods by material. In addition, the course will focus on why automobile manufacturers have made such an aggressive transition to the use of the advanced steels in new vehicle construction. It doesn’t matter who is working on the vehicle, whether it is the person writing the estimate or the technician performing the repairs, it is pertinent to first find out what the vehicle’s structural content is before starting any structural repairs. Attendees will be able to:

1. Make sure they are able to find the proper repair methods, and that they have the right equipment before commencing repairs.
2. Ensure that their technicians have the proper training and ability to perform the repairs correctly.
3. Leave with an understanding of why you cannot use the same repair methods on today’s vehicles, as those that were being used just a few years earlier.
