Auto Body Repair near Castle Rock, CO

Built to Handle Collision. When we imagine the design of a vehicle, do we think of its performance in a collision? For automakers and auto collision specialists, we build for a collision purposely. If a vehicle traveling at 65 mph on a highway stops in a collision abruptly, everything in the vehicle will continue at a speed of 65 mph until it is stopped by safety constraints or impact. With the creation of a crumple zone, also known as a crash or crush zone, frame segments and outer structural materials of the vehicle collapse or crush under significant force. A crumple zone acts as a buffer to absorb the impact of a collision and to increase the amount of time to decelerate, to slow down your vehicle. Those tenths of seconds can help prevent serious injury by reducing momentum. Crumple zones work by controlled weakening of frame segments, designed to bend at points or collapse and in some automotive models, advanced metals or materials engineered to absorb energy, such as a honey-comb design. In opposition to the crumple zone, the vehicle’s passenger cabin is built to increase strength and rigidity through reinforced beams and high-strength steel to develop a safety cell for passengers. An auto body is meant to collapse and to be strong in a critical balance of impact absorption and resistance. Don’t lose either feature.
