To avoid such a danger, ask your service man to check shocks every time the car is on the hoist for a lube job or similar service. This is particularly im- portant if your present shocks have more than 20,000 miles of wear on them. A swish in time with a spray paint gun is likely to save some expensive repairs later. By taking care of minor nicks, scratches and dents as soon as they become noticeable, ainotorist can avoid premature deterioration of his car's body. All of which makes the car more valuable at trade-in time. (DeVilbiss Co.

Repairs a 'Must' to Preserve Car Bodies Good Local Body Shop Will Have What It Takes to Do Job Have you recently taken a really good look at the finish on ,your car? Studies by lead- ing automotive service maga- zines found three out of every four cars are in need of body repair and/or touch-up work. When checking your car, chances are you'll find finish defects ranging from minor stone-nicks to more sizeable scratches, scrapes, or dents, Cloy, urination may even produt evidence of more seri- ous damage with rust appear- 4-ig in the rocker panels, lower portion of fenders, or at. other points. This time of year is an espe- cially important one to make needed repairs, For winter road conditions take a harsh toll of car bodies. , Costing You Money Regardless of the origina- tion or extent of the present damage, it's costing you money every day it goes unattended, Once paint is chipped away and bare metal is exposed, corrosive action begins and will continue to grow until arrested and eliminated by repair. Metal deterioration can also occur from beneath the tar. This usually goes undetected until rust appears on the out- side surface after corroding the metal behind. (Under- coating will, in most cases, prevent the start of this latter form of corrosion) . In either case, the longer the damage is neglected, the more extensive and time con- suming the repair becomes, thus increasing your repair bill. Once you're ready for re- pairs, Your next and most Ina- portarit step is to locate a rep- utable auto body repair and refinishing shop — one that has adequate facilities, mod- ern equipment, and experi- enced personnel to do the job. What Shop Can Do Such a shop will Shave ample parking and work space; mod- ern metal working tools; qual- ity spray equipment; spray booth With proper exhaust for dust-free paint jobs; force dry (infrared) equipment for dry- ing fresh paint in minutes as opposed to hours with air dry; factory trained spray opera- tors. A shop with these qualifica- tions can assure you of a first- rate, 'professional job in the shortest possible time. Don't settle for a 50% job at a bargain basement price from a shop that has makeshift fa- tilities. It'll probably cost you more in the long run through costly re-work at a later date. When the original beauty has been restored to your car, don't be misled into believing it to be permanent. New dam- age is likely to occur at some future date and Corrosion will once again attempt its ugly deed. Periodic checks and contin- uous, proper maintenance are your only assurance of pro- longing the original finish life. Do this faithfully and you'll derive the many benefits from • owning, driving, trading, or selling a clean, rust-free car.
