Dan recalled that when he purchased the Car-O-Liner® Quick42™, there was a shortage of clamps due to the pandemic.
“They worked well with me, and as soon as the salesman got one of the clamps in, he brought it out to us,” he said.
Dan added the sales team has been “easy to work with.”
“They’ve made purchasing Car-O-Liner® equipment seamless,” he said. “Chris comes here and sets everything up and spends two days training the employees.”
Dan added that when CARSTAR DANRICH hires a new employee, he calls Car-O-Liner® to make an appointment and a rep is there promptly to train the technician on their equipment.
In addition to the frame rack and measuring system, CARSTAR DANRICH also purchased the EVO™ Universal Anchoring and Holding System components from Car-O-Liner® .
“Let’s say a vehicle doesn’t have pinch welds for clamping vehicles the traditional way,” said Cooling. “They now have all the equipment needed to properly anchor the vehicle and fixture parts in place to repair the vehicle per OEM procedures.”
CARSTAR DANRICH also purchased a CTR™9 Resistance Spot Welder. The CTR™9 is a fully-automated resistance welder designed to replicate factory OEM welds, explained Cooling. “This welder will measure the thickness and density of the metal and automatically establish the required settings to generate a proper weld nugget; the welder does all the work for you.”
Cooling said newer model vehicles contain several types of complex metals such as high strength and ultra-high strength steels.
“So, with the equipment they purchased, they can feel confident that no matter what metals they are working with, the vehicle will be repaired to OEM specifications,” Cooling said.
Cooling is introducing a new product to CARSTAR DANRICH, the CDR™1 Dent Repair Workstation.
“It’s an all-encompassing dent station for steel, aluminum, glue pulling and more,” Cooling said. “So, I provided them with the equipment for a month, as we continue to work together to learn all the applications for the product.”
Cooling concluded, “They’re a good family-owned business and I respect their hard work.
“I enjoy working with these kinds of clients,” he added. Dan said his customers also appreciate the culture, environment and repair quality generated by their family-owned and operated body shop.
