Arrowhead Auto Body is the most modern and advanced collision repair facility in the Northland. “We take collision repair seriously, it’s what we live and breathe.” Arrowhead Auto Body has invested in advanced training and equipment for their technicians to properly repair your vehicle back to manufacturers specifications. The world is evolving and new vehicle technologies are advancing at a fast pace: collision mitigation systems, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, additional airbags, aluminum bodies, boron steals, and many other advances. The average collision repair facility cannot keep up with these new demands. You no longer can take your late-model vehicles to the average body shop down the road and expect it to be done according to vehicle manufactures guidelines or that your safety systems will be working correctly. It’s imperative for consumers to research the correct repair facility. Strict and complicated repair guidelines from the vehicle manufactures: which require new welders that produce spot welds to duplicate the factories, self-piercing riveting tools to duplicate that of Ford’s truck series, and new scanning equipment to re-calibrate or reprogram safety systems aboard your vehicle. Arrowhead Auto Body is the only vehicle manufacturer certified collision repair facility in the Northland that is capable of returning your vehicle to manufactures specifications.
