    An autobody shop repairs damaged vehicles and replace different parts and exterior finishes. Autobody shops have large painting facilities, which most mechanics do not have. You should go to an autobody for cosmetic work on your vehicle. You can change the interior and exterior appearance of your vehicle. Autobody shops offer a vast range of services, and they need a lot of equipment to do so. 

    Let’s take a closer look at the essential equipment in an autobody shop. 

    Air compressor

    An air compressor is essential for paint jobs. A 60-gallon air compressor can handle a huge workload and withstand years of use. An air compressor of half the size would be better for smaller tasks, like touch-ups. An air compressor is highly effective for painting a car and will leave a flawless finish. It’s worth spending a little more on a high-quality air compressor that will withstand the test of time. After all, you don’t want your air compressor to break halfway through a paint job. 

    Spray gun

    You need a spray gun to paint the car as well. You don’t need to buy an expensive spray gun to get the job done. You can get a good quality spray gun for just over £200, and it will get the job done nicely. 

    Dual-action sander 

    A dual-action sander is one of the most essential tools an autobody shop can have. You can achieve a straight and flat surface with the dual-action sander. You shouldn’t find any dents or bumps on the surface after you have used it. A dual-action sander can sand the vehicle to remove any rust on the surface. Once you are finished with the dual sander, you can begin to paint the vehicle. 

    Grinder

    The Milwaukee grinder is a high-quality tool used for cutting, grinding and polishing materials. Angle grinders are particularly versatile and can be used on a range of materials. They can sharpen metal or loosen paint from the car’s surface. 

    Autobody hammer and dolly set 

    A hammer and dolly set is used to flatten metal panels on vehicles. You can remove dents from the car, create outside curves and shrink the metal for repairs. The hammer and dolly set are extremely useful in autobody shops. 

    The dolly supports the metal behind the hammer and is considered the backup device. They come in numerous shapes and sizes – including the wedge, utility, toe and egg shapes. 

    Autobody repairs require multiple handheld tools and machines.  Vehicles are made from tough metal that needs to be counteracted with powerful tools. Autobody shops can perform miracles on your vehicle. They can repair and paint it to your liking. 

    Renovate your car and take it to an autobody shop.
