Putting the Toothpaste Back in the Tube.

Such is the fate of your vehicle’s airbags after an accident. The airbag of a car cannot be fixed after an accident…you must have it replaced! Manufacturers design modern airbags for a single use. When they were first introduced, mechanics could reset some airbags. Today, however, mechanics must replace the safety devices after each deployment.

Here is some advice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration –

1. Replace any used airbags immediately after a crash.
2. Never, ever try to do it yourself!
3. Do not drive your car until the replacement is complete.

Here is one important MUST DO…call The Don Embry Body Shop if you live anywhere in the Louisville area. The staff have repaired air bags since they were first introduced. Yep, The Don Embry Body Shop has been repairing collision damage in Louisville since the early 60’s. You can visit their location at 8272 Dixie Highway or call (502) 935-1373.

Repairing Unibody Damage.

Unibody damage on your vehicle is typically caused by a major accident and leaves the frame of the car weaker than it originally was. In fact, unibody damage may be partially repaired. It is however, a potential major liability for anyone who owns the vehicle because another accident could result in catastrophe.

A car can look like it has never been in an accident before, and have no visible signs of damage, but the frame could still be compromised. Many people don’t find out about unibody issues until they start having other problems with the car. Does it pull to one side? A great body shop can inspect your car for frame damage.

The message here is that The Don Embry Body Shop is a great place to bring that used car before you decide to make it your own. The Don Embry Body Shop is there for you when it comes to inspecting vehicles for unibody damage in the Louisville area. They are located at 8272 Dixie Highway. Call ahead (502) 935-1373.
