aleks auto body works

Not our usual cup of tea but we had a customer in need and the boys pulled through on a rush job.

Matching old with new paint was difficult but not impossible.

I had heard of aluminum fenders , but the new Mercedes have aluminum doors. They are much harder to repair and in most cases replacement is necessary. In the case of our long time customer we were able to repair the door and fender saving considerable expense.

OTTAWA – Aug 6, 2015 – Alexander Koundakjian of Aleks Auto Body on Gladstone Ave. says in his experience even the smallest animals can cause serious damage to vehicles. JON WILLING/OTTAWA SUN/POSTMEDIA NETWORK

As seen on CBC, just a reminder to watch out for snow banks, ice banks and other winter dangers. Always leave extra braking distance as you never know where black ice is lurking.

We are located downtown 2 blocks west of BANK St and have ample parking.

Now that temperatures have gotten below -15 Celsius its time to shovel the snow bank.   Most modern vehicles have plastic bumpers. The colder the temperature gets below zero the more chance that hitting a snow bank will crack the bumper.

This is true of both original equipment bumpers or aftermarket bumpers. Often times the bumpers can be repaired with 2 part epoxy glues.

This website has helped me often as there are many types of plastic bumper. http://www.weldguru.com/plasticrepair.html

I wanted to thank Randy at Advance Towing and Recovery for all the hard work they have done this year.

We have donated many cars to CHEO CARS 4 KIDS and they have always been punctual and honest with us.

Thank You

I recently learned that if you are getting an estimate from one of the big companies that use either Mitchell or ADP estimating software, the value of the damage on your vehicle will end up on a CARFAX or CARProof report.

The software they use is based on an online system.  Once they enter your VIN # into the software it downloads the pricing for parts.

What most people don’t know is that your estimate can be uploaded and then sold off to an insurance company or a vehicle history reporting website.
