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.
