Summary


Bodywork

Stuck on plastic
Plastics repair by means of adhesives

Repair to plastic parts in the automobile is a common operation in bodywork repair shops and accepted by the majority of vehicle manufacturers. One way of carrying out this repair consists of using adhesives as an alternative to the technique of welding; it´s particularly suitable for those materials which, because of their nature or composition, cannot be welded.


Painting

The price of colour
Control of consumption in the paintwork zone

The paintwork zone has long been considered the least profitable in the repair shop. Paint consumption makes up a significant percentage, although not the largest, of the cost of a repair. However, paint is the expense which can be reduced if resources are made maximum use of. So, an efficient control of consumption, together with the use of advanced technologies, can make it possible for the painter to use only the necessary quantity of the product.


Vehicles

Seat León
Bodyworks, Mechanics and Safety

The León is the vehicle created by Seat to complete its range in the middle sector of the market. From the point of view of design, it is based on the 1999 Seat Toledo frame, but with a different finish to the rear section, new mechanics and new safety systems. This vehicle is available for sale only in a five-door version; priority is given to protection against rust and the capacity to absorb the energy generated by a crash or by rolling over.

Road safety

Winter wear
There are a series of elements which increase the grip of tyres on a road surface, improve the manoeuvrability of the vehicle and reduce braking distance in adverse weather conditions, such as snow or ice.
Snow chains, winter tyres, sprays or liquid chains are systems which increase driving safety and get us out of tricky situations.

Spare part management in the workshop is a factor in profitability

The number of references which have to be handled in the process of spare part management is so wide that it is difficult to control without a systematic working method. Correct procedure in ordering replacement parts makes the repair of the vehicle more straightforward and, as a result shortens the time it has to be in the repair shop. Productivity and profitability are thus improved and, by definition, the workshop´s image to the customer.
