7 Common Autobody Repair Issues Every Driver Should Know in Broken Arrow, OK
Many drivers assume that once their vehicle is returned from the body shop, the repair is flawless. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Poor workmanship, shortcuts, and skipped steps can compromise safety and value. Swift Collision’s Broken Arrow location has released a guide to the seven most common autobody repair issues and how certified repair methods prevent them.
Why Repair Quality Matters
Modern vehicles are designed with advanced safety systems and complex structures. Even small repair errors can lead to serious risks, reduced resale value, and ongoing doubts about vehicle safety. According to I-CAR, certified repair training is essential to restore vehicles correctly.
7 Common Autobody Repair Issues
-
Poor Paint Matching – Without computerized tools, colors may not blend, leaving obvious differences.
-
Panel Gaps & Misaligned Parts – Doors, hoods, or bumpers that don’t sit flush indicate rushed or poor-quality repairs.
-
Frame or Structural Misalignment – A bent frame can cause steering pull, uneven tire wear, or unsafe driving.
-
Improper Welding or Bonding – Weak welds or outdated techniques compromise structural integrity.
-
Non-OEM or Low-Quality Parts – Cheap parts may rust, fit poorly, or reduce crash safety. Learn more from the Society of Collision Repair Specialists.
-
ADAS Not Recalibrated – Advanced safety systems like blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning may fail without recalibration. See insights from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
-
Hidden or Incomplete Repairs – Wiring, rust, or deeper damage may be ignored by shops cutting corners. Industry experts at the OEM Roundtable stress factory procedures to avoid these risks.
