The use of Glue Pull Repair (GPR) in the collision repair industry has become a necessity. Body shop owners and operators are seeing the multiple benefits of GPR when it comes to collision repair by doing less harm to autobody surfaces, protective coatings, insulation, sensors, and other critical features - ultimately increasing shop efficiency and profitability.

Less Invasive Repair Technology

KECO’s GPR system facilitates a ‘Do No Harm’ mantra by minimizing collateral damage in the process of executing a repair with significant advantages over traditional collision repair techniques. GPR does not remove e-coatings or corrosion protection applied to the panel by vehicle manufacturers. As well, the use of larger tabs result in larger contact surface area and create less material distortion versus traditional welding.

Shrinking the size of the repair results in directly proportional savings in filler, primer, and paint. Leaving the paint intact and beginning to straighten the panel with glue tabs—while utilizing knock-down tools—reduces the repair area immediately. This allows a technician to move a lot of metal quickly, then chose smaller or different shaped tabs to make additional pulls, bringing the damage to a prep-for-paint faster - driving efficiency for any shop.

Key Benefits of GPR

• No Damage to E-coat

  Front & backside factory corrosion protection remains intact

• Efficient Metal Flow

  Large surface area tabs & double-action allows smooth dent removal with filler-less repairs possible on smaller dings

• Repair Area Reduction

  Repair area immediately reduces massively in size after intial pulls

• Sustainability

  Eco-friendly cold repair process

Key Applications

• Aluminum

  Most effective method to repair aluminum panels

• Electric Vehicle Safe

  Repair can be carried out on powered EV

• Structural

  Where applicable, system is capable of structural pulls
