Aluminum Body Repair
When your vehicle has an aluminum body and has been damaged in a collision, it requires more than just a simple repair. Aluminum is lighter and more flexible than steel, which makes it great for performance and fuel economy — but it also demands specialized tools, training, and techniques to fix correctly.
At Hillcountry Collision, we are fully equipped and certified to handle aluminum body repair on all makes and models. From modern SUVs to aluminum-paneled sedans and trucks, our technicians have the advanced training and industry-leading technology to restore your vehicle safely, accurately, and back to manufacturer standards.
We proudly serve all communities across the Texas Hill Country, providing expert aluminum body repair with precision, care, and integrity.
Why Aluminum Body Repair Is Special
Aluminum behaves differently than traditional steel in a collision. It can bend, twist, and deform in ways that require specific knowledge to restore properly. Standard body repair shops without the proper training or tools can cause:
- Incorrect panel alignment
Weak welds or improper connections
Compromised safety structures
Mismatched paint or poor surface finish
At Hillcountry Collision, we follow strict OEM-approved methods for aluminum repair, using state-of-the-art equipment and genuine parts designed specifically for your vehicle.

Comprehensive Damage Assessment
Every vehicle is carefully inspected to determine the extent of the aluminum body damage. We identify structural issues, hidden frame damage, and any areas that must be replaced versus repaired.

Genuine OEM Parts
We use authentic replacement panels and parts where applicable — ensuring the right fit and long-lasting performance.

Fast answers. Real humans. No runaround.
Here are the aluminum body repair questions we hear all the time — with straight answers from Hillcountry Collision. If your vehicle has aluminum body panels or structural components, the right repair process matters.
Q Can aluminum body panels be repaired, or do they have to be replaced? ›
It depends on the location and severity of the damage, and whether the aluminum has stretched or creased. Many aluminum panels can be repaired safely with the correct methods — but some damage requires replacement to restore proper strength, fit, and crash performance.
Hillcountry Collision evaluates repairability and follows manufacturer repair procedures so the vehicle is restored correctly, not “good enough.”
Q Why does aluminum collision repair require special tools and training? ›
Aluminum behaves differently than steel. It work-hardens, moves differently during straightening, and requires dedicated processes to maintain safety and corrosion resistance.
Proper aluminum repair uses aluminum-approved equipment and manufacturer repair techniques to ensure correct alignment, fitment, and long-term durability.
Q Is aluminum body repair more expensive than steel repairs? ›
Sometimes. Aluminum repairs can require specialized equipment, specific procedures, and OEM parts — and replacement may be necessary in some cases.
The goal is to restore safety, structure, and appearance to manufacturer standards. We document damage clearly and help communicate repair requirements during the insurance process.
Q How long does aluminum body repair take? ›
Repair time depends on damage severity, structural involvement, and parts availability. Aluminum repairs can take longer when panels require replacement or when calibration and refinishing steps are needed.
We’ll give you a clear estimate and keep you updated, while prioritizing a correct repair that holds up long-term.
Q Will my insurance cover aluminum body repair? ›
In most cases, yes. Aluminum repairs are typically covered under collision coverage just like steel repairs, though coverage and deductible depend on the policy.
If you’re filing a claim, we can help document the damage and explain why aluminum-capable procedures are required for a safe, quality repair.
Q Do I have the right to choose Hillcountry Collision for aluminum repairs? ›
Yes. You can choose the collision repair shop you trust — even if your insurer recommends another shop. Choosing a collision center equipped for aluminum repair helps ensure the work is done correctly.
