When considering body repairs for your car, it’s crucial to look beyond the lowest price. Your car is one of the most valuable possessions, and understanding the varying qualities of repairs and the reasons behind price differences is essential.
Mobile car body repair services offer convenience by completing repairs at the customer’s home or workplace. While this appeals to busy individuals, it comes with limitations. Mobile repairs lack the controlled environment found in professional body shops. They often take place outdoors, under makeshift tents, exposing the repair process to the unpredictable weather. In contrast, professional body shops offer better-controlled environments with dedicated work areas and temperature-controlled spray booths. For those with busy schedules, Premier Group provides a fleet of over 20 courtesy cars and a collection and drop-off service, making professional body shop services just as convenient as mobile repairs.
Prominent mobile car body repair brands operate as franchise businesses owned and operated by individuals who undergo a short training period, often lasting a week. During this brief training, franchisees learn how to prepare and paint car bumpers and panels. Mastering the intricacies of preparation and painting in such a short timeframe is challenging. At Premier Group, we boast years of experience and continually engage in update training as needed. In any trade, learning is ongoing. Dealing with paints and chemicals requires constant adaptation, and the expertise and experience at Premier Group are indispensable for consistently achieving flawless results.
The products used by mobile car body repair services can significantly differ from those used in body shops. Mobile repairs often use a single-pack lacquer that is easy to apply and produces a satisfactory finish. However, the repaired area may start to lose its luster after just a few months. This quick-drying lacquer is favored by mobile repair setups. In contrast, professional body shops utilize a two-pack lacquer that requires mixing with a hardener and takes longer to dry. This method mirrors the practices of original car manufacturers, ensuring both durability and high-quality finishes.
