Collision Repair Measuring Systems

Our shop uses several different types of measuring systems during the course of a repair. The first is a tram gauge tool, consisting of pointers attached to a lightweight frame marked with a scale, which is used to check vehicle body dimensions. The pointers can be aligned with body dimension reference points to determine the direction and amount of any distortion or misalignment of the body. Critical areas for tram gauge measurement are the attachment points for suspension and mechanical components, because these are specially important in alignment.

The second system is the centerpiece of our collision equipment, it is called a Car-O-Tronic X-3, and it is a sonar-based computer measuring system. The X-3 is the most advanced in collision technology in regard to measuring, identifying, blueprinting & correcting collision damages. This system allows us to scan the upper & lower halves of a vehicle, (as well as the door, trunk, hood, hatch and sunroof apertures), check the areas for correct placement & square, and to actually monitor the repairs as the happen. With this system, we can actually create before & after print-outs of the damaged areas.

One of the fastest and most accurate computerized measuring systems on the market today! It guides the entire repair process and performs automatic centering, measuring and documentation. It is photo-based integrated with one of the world’s largest vehicle databases and fully compatible with any alignment systems.

With comprehensive measuring data, you will see  the level of quality in your your repair. The level of accuracy in measuring specifications increases the accuracy of the work we do for you. Our goal is to get you to get you in to a safe, reliable, professionally repaired vehicle as quickly as possible.
