One of the fastest developing changes in the last few years has been the extent to which vehicle manufacturers use light-weight, but stronger, materials in the construction of today's vehicles.
The complexity of materials and technology employed is now a far cry from the generic mild steel construction and pre computer aided electronics of yesteryear.
Competition, consumer demand and legislation are key driving forces behind vehicle manufacturers focus on weight reduction, fuel efficiency, crashworthyness, comfort factors and cost savings.
The effect has been the use of lighter but stronger materials in construction, such as variations of ultra high strength steel, aluminium alloys and composites.
Additional safety and consumer features have pushed electronics to standards beyond typical vehicle body repairer's understanding, and this is most prevalent in prestige vehicle manufacturer vehicles.
Vizion has created a network of collision repair businesses that have been audited by prestige vehicle manufacturers to ensure customer's vehicles are repaired to exacting standards.
Vizion has the ability to place accident damaged prestige vehicles into own brand body and paint shops across the UK so that customers retain the vehicle manufacturer customer experience.
With vehicle manufacturer standards, approved repairers have full access to up to date technical data and bulletins specific to brand. Specialty also promotes a greater understanding of build quality, construction protocols and repair methods.
Vehicle manufacturer training programs ensure technicians and craftsmen working on customer's vehicles have received specific continuous professional development to build on their already high and comprehensive generic skill set.
