CLINTON BODY SHOP CLINTON'S MOST COMPLETE COLLISION CENTRE 73 Mary St., Clinton 482-9531 To save weight and gas today's car is built with a unit body. There's no frame. Body and chassis are one unit con- sisting of many parts joined together with thousands of welds. Because the steering and suspension are secured to body components and are not independently adjustable, even a "minor" collision is likely to put your car out of alignment. The result can be tire wear, shaky steering and poor road holding. A misaligned car can't be properly controlled and is dangerous to drive. There's only one safe way to properly repair a unit body car. The entire body must be made as perfectly square and straight as it was when it was new. Many collision repair shops have old-fashioned pulling equipment and crude measuring devices. But they cannot make accurate repairs. And if even one dimension of the body is not exact, the car will still be misaligned. CLINTON BODY SHOP have the CHART TRI -SCAN LASER MEASURED frame and body straightening equip- ment to do the job right. For unibody vehicles and have the capability to restore cars that would appear to be beyond re- pair. More than that, they can restore them quickly, accurate- ly and economically. Accurate to within one millimeter, their system assures you that when they repair you collision damagc you'll be driving a perfectly aligned safe car. Originally established in 1950 the business was taken over in May 2, 1979 by the present owners JOE and JOYCE ESS ERY. CLINTON BODY SHOP repairs your car the way it was built as a unit. You shouldn't settle for anything less.
