    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.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
