BREAKING BARRIERS

ARSLAN AUTOMOTIVE GOES EVEN MORE GLOBAL

Arslan Automotive has established itself as a renowned presence in the collision repair sector, thanks to the exceptional standards and dependability of its 3D measuring and welding equipment lines. These brands have gained significant recognition among collision repair professionals in Canada, solidifying Arslan Automotive Canada Ltd.’s position as a trusted industry leader for over four decades. Arslan Automotive has gained notable recognition for its TECNA Smart/Smart Plus Inverter Spot welding equipment, which includes Accuweld-inverter pulse MIG/MAG welder models. These products have successfully captured a significant portion of the Canadian market.

Additionally, the company manufactures the Accuvision-3D measuring system, which was developed by Arslan Automotive Canada and is produced in Montreal. According to the company, their 10-AV700 3D measuring system is considered the fastest, simplest, most versatile, and accurate system of its kind worldwide. Arslan Automotive continues to experience strong sales of these systems, with over 350 shops in Canada and the US adopting the system for their 3D measuring needs since its introduction around three years ago.

The year 2023 was eventful as ever for Arslan Automotive—the company was busy finalizing the Korean translation of its Accuvision 3-D measuring system and its associated softwares. Company founder and owner Arman Gurarslan hosted a team of Korean automotive professionals at Performance Collision Brampton, managed by Gary Dunn, in mid-August. The Korean team had the chance to receive training on and provide feedback on the newly translated version of the program.

Once the equipment is all certified in its Korean language translation, the partnership—which is in conjunction with Hyundai and Kia—seeks to promote the installation of Accuvision 3-D measuring systems in all Korean collision repair facilities. Kia Motors will have first access to the 3D measuring technology. “We started the translation project in the winter of 2023 in Seoul and are completing some of the final steps here in Canada,” said Gurarslan. “I have a lot of respect for [Arman],” commented Andy J.H. Lee, one of the minds behind the massive project and a longtime member of the international automotive industry. “He’s the dictionary of the automotive market. He knows everything—really!”

Unraveling the Essentials: A Comprehensive Guide to Efficient Collision Repair Solutions

In the aftermath of a traffic accident, navigating the maze of collision repair can be a daunting ordeal. Yet, the key to swiftly restoring the harmony between life and the road lies in understanding the essentials of efficient collision repair solutions. This comprehensive guide is designed to unravel these essentials, ensuring that your vehicle receives the care it needs to return to its pre-collision glory.

**1. Initial Assessment and Estimation**

The first step in the collision repair process involves a thorough assessment and estimation. Professionals will examine your vehicle to determine the extent of the damage. Utilizing latest technologies, such as 3D scanning and computerized estimating systems, repair shops can provide accurate and detailed estimates, ensuring transparency and fairness in the repair process. Prioritizing shops that offer free, no-obligation estimates can also be a beneficial practice.

**2. Choosing OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts**

A crucial decision in the repair process is the choice between OEM parts and aftermarket parts. OEM parts are produced by the vehicle’s manufacturer and guarantee a perfect fit and optimal performance, maintaining your vehicle’s value and integrity. Meanwhile, aftermarket parts, often less expensive, might not always match the exact specifications of your vehicle, potentially affecting performance and safety. For high-quality repairs, OEM parts are generally recommended, though in some cases, aftermarket parts can serve as a budget-friendly alternative without compromising on safety.

**3. Technological Expertise and Certification**

The complexity of modern vehicles, with their advanced safety systems and computerized components, requires a high level of technological expertise. Choosing a repair shop with certified technicians, who are trained in the latest repair techniques and technologies, is essential. Certifications from organizations like I-CAR (Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair) signal a technician’s skills and knowledge in collision repair, offering reassurance that your vehicle is in capable hands.

**4. Paint Matching and Finishing Techniques**

The final appearance of your vehicle, upon completion of repairs, is predominantly determined by the quality of paint matching and finishing techniques. Advanced color matching technology ensures a seamless blend between the repaired areas and the original paintwork, preserving the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle. A high-quality repair shop will use environmentally friendly, water-based paints, and computerized paint mixing systems to achieve an impeccable finish.

**5. Understanding the Warranty**

Before committing to a repair shop, understanding the warranty offered on the repair work is critical. A reputable shop will stand behind its work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both parts and labor. Ensure you are clear about the warranty’s duration and what it entails. A solid warranty is a testament to the confidence a repair shop has in its workmanship and the quality of the parts used.

**6. Communication and Customer Service**

Excellent communication and customer service are the hallmarks of a reputable collision repair shop. The repair process should be transparent, with regular updates on the progress of your vehicle’s repairs. Professional shops will handle the coordination with insurance companies, alleviating one more concern from your list. Selecting a repair facility that values customer service ensures a more manageable and stress-free repair experience.

In conclusion, efficient collision repair solutions hinge on making informed decisions at each step of the process. From the initial assessment to the final touches, understanding the essentials delineated in this guide empowers you as a vehicle owner, ensuring that your collision repair journey culminates in a seamless and satisfactory outcome. Remember, quality repairs are an investment in your vehicle’s future, safeguarding its performance, safety, and resale value.
