 David Sears Body Technician 30 + years of experience |
Having owned his own shop for 10 plus years, Dave came to us with a full range of expertise in vehicle restoration! Restoring the body of a damaged vehicle involves so much more than just making it look good. Dave explained that it is extremely important to understand the engineering behind the way the body is put together and recreate that so that if it is ever involved in another accident it will react the way the manufacturer originally intended for the safety of all passengers. He finds a great deal of satisfaction in taking a damaged vehicle and bringing it back to its original safe condition! |
