Body Repairs - Introduction



Introduction

All repairs, whether structural or cosmetic must return the vehicle to the original manufactured condition with regard to occupant safety, dimensional accuracy, finish and corrosion protection, and ensure continuation of the Paint Surface and Corrosion warranty where applicable.

Similarly, repaired vehicles must be fully checked, and where appropriate reset, with regard to steering, suspension, braking, and occupant restraint systems.
