Dent Repair

Minor dent repairs are performed using a process called paintless dent removal, also known as PDR, where dents are reshaped by applying pressure from behind the vehicle’s body without compromising the manufacturer’s paint coating. Major dent repair is a complex task as it requires damage assessment, panel removal, intense hammering, alignment adjustment, sensor inspection, repainting, clear coating, and polishing. Such complex repair features more than one type of repair, which can be performed by our expert technicians at Swedish Auto Service. We have been exclusively working on Swedish and other European auto models in Austin for more than two decades.

Scratch Removal

Scratch removal becomes a complex and continuous task in Swedish auto models due to their unique design, which features distinctive curved lines with aerodynamically attuned module positioning. Minor scratches that reach the clear coat can be polished and buffed by hand using fine abrasives and sealants applied with a microfiber cloth. Deeper scratches that have ruptured the base paint and primer layer require meticulous priming, repainting, and sealing, often by multiple layers. To achieve a seamless blend that matches the shade and style of the vehicle, visit our Swedish Auto Service facility in Austin.

Panel Restoration

Panels affected by rust or corrosion are removed and restored for reinstallation in bodywork repair. First, the panel assessment is conducted to determine whether it is suitable for restoration. If passed, the panel is thoroughly cleaned first. Then it is put through wet sanding or sand-blasting for complete removal of rust. Then it is primed, cured, repainted, and clear-coated to ensure protection from environmental factors. Then it is installed in the mainframe and released for further services.

Panel Replacement

Vehicles with UHHS steel alloy frames often require panel replacement to maintain their structural integrity in the event of panel damage.  The replacement is done through several steps, which are: careful removal of damaged panels without harming adjacent panels, inspection and repair of the underlying frame, and precision fitting, followed by welding or adhesive bonding. Repair and replace your panels using OEM parts, performed by technicians who specialize in Swedish auto models, at our auto repair center, Swedish Auto Service, located near Austin, to ensure the correct bodywork service.

Parts Alignment

Often, the unique component features of European vehicles make it difficult to arrange repairs logistically. Sourcing an exact high-quality match replacement of sophisticated metal-alloy parts can be a costly and challenging task for many. Additionally, the precision engineering of these vehicles yields none to very few gaps in the module. Alignment of components becomes crucial for the proper functioning of several vehicle parts. That’s why you should choose a specific auto repair shop, such as Swedish Auto Service, where the technicians have been working exclusively with Swedish and other European brands for over two decades in Austin. This will ensure you use the correct components and achieve accurate alignment in your vehicle.
