When designing cars, manufacturers are looking towards aluminium as it is lighter and when impacted absorbs twice the energy compared with steel.

 
 
 
   

We at GASKELL’S have one aluminium bay designed for Mercedes, Audi and BMW vehicles.  It has a separate tooling area where all specialist aluminium welders and rivet guns are stored. 

Tony, our Senior Panel Technician, has been trained at the Audi factory in Neckarsulm, Germany. This was a full two week course covering all aluminium space frame technology and panel repairs. Tony holds a TÜV Welding Certificate demonstrating the high skill level he has achieved.

In June 2008 we passed our first aluminium audit and now are one of 22 approved centers in the UK.
