Aluminum Repair Has Changed the Industry.

What a difference between those auto body repair shops that just do traditional collision repair and the ones that do aluminum welding.  Until the last few years with the introduction of the 2015 Ford F150, aluminum was only used as a primary body material on limited production vehicles like Range Rovers, Jaguar XK sedans, Audi A8s, and certain Mercedes-Benz models.


How does aluminum repair differ from steel repair?

1.  A technician needs better tools and skills to reshape aluminum
2.  Aluminum conducts heat better
3.  Steel and aluminum are corrosive to each other

Aluminum is usually stronger than steel but weighs less.  Less weight means better fuel mileage, as well as better towing and payload capacities.  The Don Embry Body Shop is one of the top aluminum welding body shops in the entire Louisville area.  Trust the expertise of this 55-year old + institution to do the job right the first time.  Call The Don Embry Body Shop.  They have been there for three generations located at 8272 Dixie Highway in Louisville.
