Already well established as a cost-effective means of rectifying minor damage to steel and aluminium panels on passenger cars, so-called smart repair techniques are starting to become more prevalent in commercial vehicle accident repair operations. So says Fran Johnson, bodyshop manager at Market Weighton, East Yorkshire based Britcom International."We've just invested in a Miracle Panel Repair System from Power-Tec," he reports. "We use it whenever possible and we've used it to particularly good effect on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. There's a double-skinned section on the lower rear corner of the body that's vulnerable to damage," he continues. "We weld a series of attachment points to it, link the system to them and then use it to pull the section straight."
