Manufacturer-Certified Collision Repair & Restoration
Abra Greeley, part of the Yoder Collision Network, is a manufacturer-certified and I-CAR Gold Class collision repair facility specializing in restoring vehicles to factory specifications after an accident. Our commitment to OEM-approved repair methods, advanced structural repair techniques, and high-precision refinishing ensures that every repair meets or exceeds industry standards.
As vehicle technology evolves, repairing modern cars requires specialized knowledge of high-strength steel, aluminum, composite materials, and advanced safety systems (ADAS). Abra Greeley is equipped with manufacturer-specific training, OEM-approved tools, and certified technicians to handle these complex repairs with precision.
Precision Repairs Backed by Certification Standards
Certified Repair Process at Abra Greeley
Advanced Damage Assessment & Structural Integrity Verification
Key Steps:
- 3D Laser Frame Measuring: Utilizes computerized measurement technology to assess deviations from factory specifications.
- High-Strength Steel & Aluminum Integrity Testing: Ensures damaged panels and structural components are repaired or replaced following manufacturer guidelines.
- Multi-Angle Impact Analysis: Identifies secondary damage that may compromise safety but is not visible externally.
Technical Considerations:
- Many vehicles today use boron steel, ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS), and aluminum to meet safety and efficiency standards. These materials require specific welding techniques, heat control, and bonding methods to prevent structural failure.
- Traditional straightening techniques may compromise crash energy absorption zones, making OEM procedures critical for maintaining vehicle safety ratings.
Manufacturer-Specified Structural & Panel Repairs
Key Steps:
- OEM-Approved Welding & Bonding: Factory-specific MIG brazing, resistance spot welding, and aluminum-specific techniques to restore crash integrity.
- Panel Sectioning & Rivet Bonding: Adhering to manufacturer-permitted sectioning locations to prevent structural weakening.
- Corrosion Protection & Factory Sealant Application: Replicating factory corrosion-prevention coatings for long-term durability.
Technical Considerations:
- The repairability of high-strength steel (HSS) and UHSS is limited—many components must be replaced instead of reshaped due to loss of tensile strength.
- Adhesive bonding and rivet-bonding technology (used in aluminum-intensive vehicles) require precise heat control to prevent material fatigue and ensure impact resistance.
Paint & Refinish with OEM Color-Matching Technology
Key Steps:
- Computerized Spectrophotometry: Digital scanning technology analyzes paint formulas for an exact factory match.
- Eco-Friendly Waterborne Paint System: OEM-approved coatings provide superior durability while reducing environmental impact.
- Multi-Layer Clearcoat & UV Protection: Ensures long-term gloss retention and resistance to fading.
Technical Considerations:
- Newer vehicles use tri-coat, pearl, and metallic finishes that require a specialized layering process to avoid color mismatches.
- Blending techniques must be employed in adjacent panels to achieve seamless transitions between repaired and existing areas.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Calibration & Safety System Restoration
Key Steps:
- Sensor & Camera Recalibration: Ensures lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking systems function correctly.
- Radar & LIDAR System Verification: Restores factory sensor alignment critical for collision avoidance systems.
- Electronic Module Programming & Resets: Factory-certified software updates for safety and performance restoration.
Technical Considerations:
- Misaligned ADAS sensors can cause false warnings, system failures, or unsafe vehicle behavior. OEM calibration is necessary after structural repairs, windshield replacement, or bumper replacements.
- Many ADAS components require millimeter-precise adjustments using OEM-approved diagnostic tools to function correctly.
