Ford F-150 Aluminum Body, Why It Matters
Starting with the 2015 model year, Ford F-150s use a military-grade aluminum body. This was a huge engineering shift, and a huge problem for shops that didn't invest in the equipment and training to repair aluminum properly. Aluminum repair requires:
- A separate, contamination-free work area, aluminum cross-contaminated with steel dust will corrode.
- Dedicated aluminum-only tools for cutting, welding, and pulling.
- Different welding techniques, pulse MIG with aluminum-specific wire and shielding gas.
- Different repair philosophy, aluminum work-hardens, so straightening requires more careful application of heat.
We handle Ford aluminum repair the right way, to Ford's factory procedure, on F-150, F-250 (where applicable), Super Duty Aluminum, and other aluminum-bodied Fords.
Other Ford Models We Repair
- Mustang. Bumper, fender, and quarter-panel work, and a lot of paint work, given how often Mustang owners want to keep them showroom-fresh.
- Explorer & Edge. Unibody crossovers, common rear-end and parking damage.
- Escape. Compact crossover, frequent fender and bumper repairs.
- Bronco. Off-road damage is what we see most, body panels, fender flares, bumpers.
- Ranger. Mid-size truck, common bed and tailgate damage.
- Super Duty (F-250, F-350). Heavy-duty trucks with steel frames, often trailer-related damage.
Ford Co-Pilot360 ADAS Calibration
Modern Fords use Ford Co-Pilot360, Pre-Collision Assist, Blind Spot Information, Lane-Keeping, Adaptive Cruise. Cameras in the windshield and radar in the grille need calibration after any collision repair that disturbs them. We perform Ford ADAS calibrations as part of every applicable repair.
