Our technicians have received factory training--plus training from
national professional collision repair organizations like ASE and
ICAR.

6. Advanced technology measuring system.

We use a precision engineered, space age measuring systemone that
assures you that your car has been returned to factory specifications.

7. Our ability to monitor repairs as they're made.

Some bodyshops have to work blind. Their equipment doesn't allow them
to monitor pulls in progress. But our system lets us check our work
millimeterbymillimeter as we go. So there are no surprises at the end.
For us. For you. Or for your insurance company. Why a stateoftheart
measuring system is so important to your modern unibody car. Unibody
cars are engineered to absorb shock and transfer it away from the
passenger compartment. That's good for passengers. It saves lives. But
it means damage inflicted to one part of the car may show up in
another. For example, damage to the right front fender will sometimes
affect the suspension of the left rear wheel. and that, in turn, unless
the damage is located, can cause tire wear, handling, and even car
control problems. Unless the shop restoring your car has a
stateoftheart measuring system that can locate all the hidden damage,
you'll miss the peace of mind of knowing your car has been returned to
goodasnew factory specifications-top to bottom, inside out.

8. Our expertise in straightening components.

To prevent damaging the new super strength, yet lightweight steels used
in today's unibody construction, a shop must have the kind of systems
that allow precisioncontrol corrections. Be assured, we do.

9. Our advanced welding techniques.

We use advanced process MIG welding machines to make sure the super
strength steels in your unibody car retain their original integrity.

10. Our quality assured paint and finish superiority.

We use only the highest quality finishes to assure perfect matching
everytime. Count on our paint technicians to restore your car's finish
to your complete satisfaction.

Collision repair was once simple. Just pull, pound, and paint.

But that was before imports and unibodies. Now, even a slight accident
can throw the whole car out of line--tracking out of sync- and steering
out of kilter.

That's because with unitized carbody construction, there's no heavy,
cross-member frame, with a body added. The body and frame are one
piece--a single, lightweight shell that can be distorted by even a
minor collision.

As a result, your unitized car has to have new, more advanced, more
sophisticated and more precise repair techniques than older model frame
cars. You simply can't afford to risk putting your damaged car into the
hands of a body shop not trained in new, high strength steels--advanced
welding techniquesstateoftheart measuring.

You can put your confidence in our skilled and experienced collision
repair technicians. They use the most up-todate equipment available.
And their skills are constantly being upgraded through ongoing, handson
training.

SYSops note: On or about April 1, 1993, the Automotive Service
Association (ASA) of Colorado will begin certifying automotive repair
business that voluntarily meet the guidelines and standards set forth
by the Automotive Service Association of America. Businesses that meet
these guidelines, which include ethics, equipment standards and repair
expertise, will receive an A rating. The certification process has
been developed with the assistance of the State of Colorado.
