Since 2015, the Ford F-150 features high-strength military-grade aluminum alloy body panels over a fully boxed high-strength steel frame. We have dedicated clean-room aluminum tooling and structural rivet-bonding equipment.
Aluminum and steel are galvanic opposites. If steel sanding dust contacts raw aluminum, galvanic corrosion rapidly destroys the metal from within. We utilize isolated aluminum repair bays and dedicated stainless-steel tools.
Clean-room dedicated dust extraction and separate pneumatic tools prevent steel cross-contamination.
Hydraulic rivet guns replicating Ford factory SPR fastener joints with structural epoxy bonding adhesive.
Precise heat monitoring (between 200°C to 260°C) during aluminum panel reshaping to prevent structural micro-fracturing.
Dedicated clean-room pneumatic aluminum rivet gun installing structural SPR fasteners.
While the body is aluminum, the F-150 chassis is constructed from 77% high-strength boxed steel, requiring high-tonnage multi-tower hydraulic pulling.
Restoring twisted front frame horns, crossmembers, and rear receiver hitch mounting points.
Repairing crushed aluminum bed sides, wheel houses, and power tailgate internal linkages.
Precision computer matching for Ford tri-coat colors including Oxford White, Agate Black, Rapid Red, and Carbonized Gray.
Heavy-duty truck frame anchored on multi-tower pulling bench.
Every F-150 collision repair adheres strictly to Ford OEM workshop manual structural procedures.
Mapping sheared SPR rivets and separated structural epoxy adhesive lines.
Extracting damaged rivets without enlarging aluminum panel mounting holes.
Applying OEM two-part epoxy structural adhesive with factory bead thickness.
Oven bake curing and matching durable spray-in bedliner texture.
Ford F-150 fully restored to showroom condition with factory panel gaps.
Clear answers regarding auto collision, insurance claims, paint matching, and warranties in Quebec.
Aluminum has no shape memory like steel and requires heat-assisted reshaping to avoid cracking. Furthermore, steel dust causes galvanic corrosion on aluminum, requiring dedicated tools and clean-room isolation.
We use Ford-specified Self-Piercing Rivets (SPR) installed with high-pressure hydraulic rivet guns, combined with two-part structural epoxy bonding adhesive for factory crash-test strength.
Yes. We anchor the heavy truck chassis to our 10-ton hydraulic frame bench and pull the hydroformed boxed steel rails back to millimeter-exact factory datum specs.
Yes, we handle collision repairs for private owners, commercial contractor fleets, and municipal service trucks with fast turnaround times.
