# Uptownbody > Uptown Body and Fender ## Posts ### What are the most common Collision Repair Services? No car owner likes to be caught up in a situation where the vehicle’s aesthetic appearance, structural integrity or on-road performance gets impacted by an accident. But then, cars exist and accidents happen. And these accidents can happen even if you’re super cautious or attentive behind the wheel. Because, while you can control your actions or reactions there’s little you can do to control factors that lie beyond your cabin space. Thankfully, with an ample choice of collision repair shops and collision repair experts no matter where you’re located, repairing and restoring your car to its original road-worthy condition is just a convenient visit away. In case you’d like to have a better picture of what collision repair services are about, here’s a compilation of the services that are commonly needed in the event of an accident.  Repairs for a damaged front endA road that’s covered with snow and therefore, slippery. A vehicle in the front that hits the brakes abruptly. A truck that loses control and lands up in your path. There could be any number of reasons for the front of your car to get impacted in an accident. Front end collision repairs at any collision repair shop will usually involve parts such as the bumper, hood, grills and headlights. Minor repairs would mean fixing a dented bumper or hood or replacing a cracked headlight. Major repairs however would be needed if the car has severe damage which in some cases, is also accompanied by damage to the underlying mechanical structure and systems. Repairs for an impacted rear end The driver behind you gets distracted for a split second; reason enough for your car to land up at a collision repair shop in Oakland with rear end damage. No matter what the cause, rear end collisions are among the most frequently encountered types of accidents requiring collision repairs. Much like a front-end collision, rear-end collision work involves cosmetic repairs to parts such as the rear bumper, trunk, tail lights and rear fenders. The only difference is, rear-end accidents don’t result in damage to the car’s mechanical structure or other vital systems. Repairs or replacement of a cracked windshield A crack in the windshield doesn’t have to result from an accident alone. A falling branch, collapsing post, splintering debris or even a spare tire bouncing uncontrollably on the road, can be reasons for a windshield to get damaged. Minor cracks need no more than reasonably priced repairs while larger cracks would call for a complete replacement. Repairs or replacement of a windshield is usually covered by insurances that are comprehensive and you won’t even need to pay a deductible, depending on your state and/or insurer.  Repainting in the event of body scratches Scratches on a car’s paint can be caused by accidents as well as acts of vandalism. Either way, paint scratches can lead to further deterioration including rust and therefore, need to be treated immediately. The usual process followed by collision repair experts involves primer-ing and sanding, matching the new paint with the OEM paint code, applying fresh coats of the matched paint and finally, sealing the color using the right polish-and-wax compounds.  Fixing a damaged suspension Damages to a car’s exterior can be visually detected with ease in case of a collision. But there are several parts that are not as visible and therefore need more than just a superficial inspection. The suspension system which is located underneath the car’s frame, is one such part. When it comes to suspension repairs, technicians at a collision repair shop will replace some or all of the following: shock absorber, suspension spring, shocks and struts, hub bearing and caliper.  Repairing dents A dent can happen at any spot on your car’s exterior – from its front to its rear to the sides and even top. While a dent is less serious an issue and will in no way impact the car’s drivability, it will however create plenty of ‘eyesore’ moments if left unfixed. Untreated dents can also lead to chipping of paint which could allow rust to set in. Depending on the nature of the dent, collision repair experts will choose between traditional dent repair – if the dent is deep and accompanied by extensive paint damage, and paintless dent repair – used when the dents are minor and the surface paint is not damaged. We hope this blog gives you an overview of the most commonly needed and delivered collision repair services.

Auto body repair technicians, also known as collision repair technicians, are responsible for repairing the damage caused by collision, vandalism, falling trees, hail or running into an animal. Collision technicians work on all vehicles including trucks and motorcycles. The primary job of an auto body technician is to return the vehicle to pre-accident condition. This can involve anything from removing dents to replacing panels, lights, molding, cooling and a/c systems, air bags or any other part that may be needed as a result of the claim. To do their job properly, auto body technicians must have a thorough knowledge of the structure and components of vehicles. They must also be skilled in the use of auto body tools and equipment. Here are some things that an auto body technician may do: 1. INSPECT DAMAGED VEHICLES Auto body estimators are responsible for inspecting damaged vehicles and writing a computerized estimate. Auto body technicians are responsible for disassembling the vehicle and writing a supplement for damage that may have been missed in the initial estimate or may have been hidden until the vehicle was taken apart.    2. STRAIGHTEN BENT FRAMES USING HYDRAULIC FRAME STRAIGHTENING MACHINESIf a frame is bent and not kinked, it can be straightened by pulling the frame with the hydraulic frame straightening equipment. If the frame is kinked, it must be replaced. We no longer heat frames to straighten them - which was the procedure in the past, as heat weakens the integrity of the metal. In addition to frame straightening equipment, we also have a frame measuring system that measures the frame and prints out a report confirming that it is within factory specs. 3. DENTS, BODY FILLER AND PREPPING FOR PAINTOnce the vehicle has been pulled and squared and all necessary panel replacements are done, there will be some areas where small dents and scratches will have to be filled with body filler to make the panel perfect before painting begins. This body filler is known as “bondo” in the auto body repair world. Before the paint process can begin, the painter must color-match to achieve the perfect color.  The vehicle must then be sanded, blocked and feather-edged so that it can be prepped for paint. Once the vehicle reaches the prep department, the damaged areas must be primed, blocked again and taped off to prevent overspray following which a sealer is applied, then the basecoat (which is the color) and finally the clearcoat. It is then buffed to remove any imperfections, detailed and quality controlled before being delivered back to the customer. These are just some of the tasks that auto body repairers may be responsible for.  As you can see, there are a lot of processes that go into restoring a vehicle to its pre-accident condition.  If you are in need of auto body repair, please feel free to call us and discuss your requirements or enquire about our processes with our well-informed staff. ### Auto Body Shops vs Auto Repair Shops Auto repair shops can be confusing, there are auto repair shops and auto body shops. Auto body shops are also known as collision repair shops.  What is the difference? Don’t they both fix cars?  Well, yes and no.  The services each type of repair shop offers are not the same. Simply put, an auto repair shop works mainly on the car’s engine, brakes, and cooling system. An auto body shop or collision repair shop repairs the damage to your car because of a collision or vandalism.  Auto body shops also repair the damage that falls under your comprehensive coverage, which includes hail damage, glass breakage, fallen trees, and hitting animals on the highway or roads.  As a side note, comprehensive claims do not count again you. It is wise to keep your comprehensive deductibles low as the cost of comprehensive coverage is much less than collision or liability insurance.A collision repair center will work on your cooling system, engine, and suspension when it is part of the initial damage. What You Can Expect From An Auto Body ShopRemoval of damaged panels and replacement or repair of these panelsFrame damage repair or replacementRefinishing of damaged or replaced panelsRestraint system replacementGlass repair or replacementConvertible top replacementInterior repair or replacementPaintless dent removalSuspension replacement and alignments Uptown Body and Fender offers extra services for our customers while their vehicle is in the shop, including reduced rental car fees and free shuttle service to and from the body shop. How Our Services Differ From An Auto Repair ShopWe do not do oil changes, brake replacements, stereo and alarm repairs or replacements,  engine work, or transmission work. We can recommend high-quality professionals for these services. Looking For ”Auto Body Repair Near Me” vs. “Auto Body Shop Near Me”As long as what you are searching for involves any of the aforementioned collision repair needs, either of these two search phrases will work. The key word in your search needs to be “body” to find a collision repair expert.  If you live in or near Oakland, your search will generate the result of Uptown Body and Fender.  Follow the link to our site and schedule an appointment to get an estimate, and then if you choose, you can make a repair appointment. Body Repair And Auto RepairNow that these two kinds of repair facilities have been clarified, you can confidently book your appointment at the correct location. We hope you will give Uptown Body and Fender a try the next time you experience damage to the body of your vehicle. ## Pages ### Faq FAQs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How long has Uptown Body & Fender been in business?
