The repair on the back of a Volkswagen Golf estate
Park your car always involves some risk to the body: small scratches, bumps, slight tears have all suffered very frequent, a good rule to preserve the status of your car, you keep a certain distance with the car nearby so as to avoid possible claims.
The owner of our leading article had followed this advice carefully and, like every morning, had parked his new station wagon to return with all bull still uncut. Of course, all risks can not be calculated: a mid-day he heard a loud noise coming from the car park on the road, went down and found his car ... half-destroyed! Cause? A distracted motorist had hit his car, severely damaging the rear left. So anxious for a safe parking and then the result is half machine to be redone, but ... fortunately, there are the body builders!
Technical intervention
Once you reach the car body, the body shop has started to analyze the damage and decided how to proceed, the frame is bent, the left rear side destroyed the hatch back, rear and left rear glass were shattered, the lighthouse and its headquarters are severely damaged, dented the wheel, the tire cut the circle twisted ... Luckily, the driver of the car coating stopped and left the general: the bill will be very high!
In a speech as this, the main difficulty lies in perfect shape and then join the new pieces, since which damaged the rear left corner, the wheel arches and a large part of the side, you can not entirely replace components otherwise would also dent the roof of the car carrying the body in general and, not least, the safety of the car.
Choosing the way to go, the first transaction is the purchase of all the damaged parts: for this long work (the list of components seemed endless) the body B. P. Salvatore Paci (where the intervention took place) has used the valuable collaboration of metabolism ICMA, Casalecchio di Reno Bologna; present reality for over 70 years on the market and member of the consortium Tuttemarche-AD. Components as it was decided to original parts: this choice was dictated by the fact that there is no market competition for pieces of sheet metal rear. Interventions of this type were carried out by most foreign bodies (in Germany, for example, there is the figure of the body shop at 360 degrees is taken care only of sheet metal, painting, etc. who, faced with a cost workforce close to 80 euro / h), with a loss of time at the expense of the customer. In Italy, this does not happen: the motorist takes their car in a body and, at the end of the prescribed time, may return to his car where he was doing work in a workmanlike manner, and this difference in quality of work and cost (in Emilia Romagna, the average is 30 euro / h) should reflect the insurance companies.
High professionalism, passion for his work and above all, a "range" of operations up to the Panda cars of yesteryear (many business operators are doing historic restorations and as a first job that in his spare time) do not go together with "20 euro / h of labor" (price imposed by some insurance), otherwise the work of coachbuilder lose that professionalism, but above all the passion that distinguishes us in the world.
