Chief offers collision repair shops a total repair solution. We supply equipment to diagnose and identify collision damage, repair the damage through pulling the frame, replacing parts or welding, and document that the vehicle was returned to the original manufacturer’s specifications.  The level of sophistication Chief welders offer goes beyond just melting two metals together.  Data reporting on weld strength, automatic tool recognition and similar technologies provides repair technicians with more time to repair and less worry about ever-changing demands on the collision industry.  You’ll be happier that vehicles are being repaired faster with better results and in turn, making your shop more profitable.

These systems have been specifically designed to allow shops to use the “Best Way Technology™” available to make the appropriate repairs. Additionally, Chief offers diagnostic products to assist in validating the status of vehicle systems once repairs are made, and is even working to address the issue of quickly locating OEM vehicle data.
