1. Significant damage to the body is repaired in specialized workshops equipped with the necessary welding and hydraulic straightening equipment.
2. If the damage is serious, it is important to check how much it has affected the overall performance and adjustment of the vehicle (suspension, wheel alignment, etc.). Such damage can, among other things, lead to increased wear on the tires, transmission and steering.
3. Since all major body parts are removable and replaceable, any seriously damaged parts are better replaced than repaired. Sometimes you can use used parts.
