Spot Welding

We have all seen the robots in the car commercials that lean over the production line adding body panels to the vehicle and with a series of quick flashes that body panel is now part of the car. Well that is what they call 'Spot Welding'.

Many of the body panels on modern cars are spot welded in their construction, fitting or both. It is a common and efficient car production technique to permanently fix the car parts together.

But what happens after it has been in an accident and that panel needs replacing?

At Pritchards we repair vehicles back to the manufacturers original specification and therefore when we replace spot welded panels or component parts, just like the original manufacturers, we spot weld them as they were originally designed to be.

Having both the spot welding equipment and the trained staff (sorry no robots!) to use it at our accident repair centre; it gives us the advantage when repairing seriously damaged vehicles as insurance companies know that having this technique and experience it will ensure the repair is completed correctly.
