Damage repair with no need
for repainting
Knocks during transport, when parking
and even atmospheric phenomenon like hail can cause small
dents in vehicles. When this damage does not penetrate the
paint layer, we can look at specific repair techniques which,
while righting the sheet metal, do not damage the paintwork.

Motorcycle painting
Motorcycle painting calls for a knowledge of work processes
on plastics and sheet metal, the materials which are combined
in the manufacture of these vehicles. The painter must be
able to handle different colours and systems for finishes,
even within a single part. The painter must also be familiar
with fixing methods for the stick-ons and symbols which personalize
the various models.

Opel
Corsa C
Since it first appeared on the market,
at the start of the eighties, the Opel Corsa has become a
reference vehicle within the small car sector. The application
of safety features, be they active or passive, the use of
new materials, the generalized use of high resistance or thermally
hardened steels and the inclusion of galvanized sheet metals,
make the new Corsa C as a clear exponent of evolution in the
world of automobile manufacture.

Compulsory accessories and
spare parts
So that a vehicle may drive on a public highway, along with
the relevant administrative permits, it needs a series of
accessories and spare parts which will allow it to find a
satisfactory way out of certain tricky situations, which are
sometimes common.
The obligation to carry these accessories in the vehicle,
although not new, has seen certain modifications since the
new General Vehicles Regulations came into force and as a
result of the technical advances which are continually being
included in automobiles.

Introduction of the environmental
management system in the repair workshop
Sustainable development calls for the application of criteria
for environmental care in each and every economic activity.
In this sense, repair workshops, like any other business,
must take an active part and, as a guide, install a management
system which will help to control and reduce the environmental
impact of their activities. This will bring with it, moreover,
economic advantages, will improve the image and the competitive
position of the workshop, and will create an atmosphere of
cooperation among staff.
