GODERICH'S MOST COMPLETE COLLISION CENTRE 440 Bayfield Rd. 524-9181 Many automobile owners make the serious error of -spending a lot of money on their older vehicle in the way of mechani- cal repairs and then looking for an autobody shop to bring the exterior up to par. They may get work done on the brakes, exhaust systems or other costly components and then discover to their dismay that the body is not worth salvag- ing. One of the best ways to prevent serious deterioration of your vehicle's body is to have new paint professionally ap- plied by a reputable auto body and collision shop. Your car or truck is a principal investment, so it certainly makes sense to keep it in top condition for as long as possible. Years ago, car bodies were welded or bolted onto a large chassis frame.

The majority Of cars on the road today have unitized construction known as the unibody safety feature. In case of rear or frontal collision, the unibody collapses like an accordion for better shock ab- sorption. Cars which would have been considered a write-off years ago can be pulled back into the original shape using a specialized frame straightening rack.
