Smash Repair Technologies That Have Transformed Body Shops

As a major player in insurance-approved smash repairs, car servicing, and panel beating, Gino’s Panel & Paint in Fremantle is constantly innovating to improve its processes.

From opening their doors over 30 years ago, Gino’s Panel & Paint has grown substantially, thanks to new technologies and a team of valued technicians, apprentices, and office staff.

In this article, we look at 3 state-of-the-art advancements that are part of everyday life for this body shop in Fremantle.

1Q1 Bodyshop Flow Management

The 1Q1 Bodyshop Flow Management System is a software that effectively manages every stage of the repair process, from initial assessment to final invoicing. Every car repair job requires a number of sequential tasks to be undertaken for the best result. The 1Q1 software smooths the handover of these tasks, allowing each team member to access the latest actions and required next steps.

Notable features:

• Mobile devices are utilised to accept and release a task at each stage.

• Advanced tools to prioritise and manage multiple repair jobs simultaneously.

• Quality checklists to ensure a high-quality finish after each task and for staff recognition and accountability.

• Accurate data of performance and profitability for individual workers and the body shop.

• Automatic customer notifications for completion of significant stages.

• Invoicing and reporting functions to simplify closing a job.

• With the use of this software, Gino’s Panel & Paint in Fremantle has improved cycle times, which provides a better experience for staff and customers.

Rapid Repair System

Gino’s Panel & Paint has refined and optimised the repair process using an advanced Rapid Repair system, shortening some processes by 65%!

Before painting a vehicle, the metal requires a specialised automobile primer. Gino’s uses the Sikkens Autosurfacer UV primer in conjunction with the Teslacure R100 lamp, which has created a globally recognised UV curing solution.

To improve the speed of painting a vehicle, Gino’s uses the Symach Paint Application Process, which involves a robotic spray booth for a consistent finish all over. The fast-dry solution is further bolstered by the Flydry robot, which uses infrared lamps to dry every panel of a car. For more information on these technologies, see this article.

These state-of-the-art systems fast-track multiple facets of Gino’s Panel & Paint in Fremantle, improving quality and efficiency. Given their experience with the innovative solution, Gino’s has previously hosted a live demonstration to showcase the products to the WA panel beating industry.

Colorvation Colour Matching Technology

Utilising the latest in colour-matching technology, Gino’s Panel & Paint in Fremantle uses Colorvation to improve workflow and paint accuracy. The system makes respraying a car far more efficient as painters need not rely on their own colour-matching abilities, reducing risk and increasing their confidence.

Colorvation provides a spray-out card of the possible paint colours, allowing easy comparison and the ability to save previous mixtures into a library. Following the Colorvation steps for colour matching is so simple, even apprentices can match the colours ready for the painter. Director of Gino’s, Aaron Scagliotta, said of the system, “Now my painters are working as a team. It’s not like before where one guy has one job, and he works through it till the end.”
