Key vehicle repair skills disappearing from workshop
Cornerstone Technologies has found that many vehicle repair skills critical to restoring cars to their pre-accident condition are being forgotten.
Through its Advanced Steel and Aluminium Safe Repair Standards Training, it has discovered that many practical skills appear to be disappearing from the workshop.
Lee Caswell, technical director at Cornerstone Technologies, said: “Our safe repair standards covering steel and aluminium give techs a deep dive into modern repair techniques and in-depth knowledge that has almost retired with the last generation of ‘genuine’ panel beaters.
“I would say to bodyshops, if you’ve got panel replacers working for you, we’d love to support them to understand where repairs can be carried out safely, refine their techniques and increase your profitability.
“This applies to both new and experienced panel beaters. Every technician leaves with tangible knowledge and improved practical techniques and processes that helps to improve repair quality, increase workshop profitability, and support longer-lasting warranties.”
