Ensure Immediate Safety First

After the airbags deploy, your first concern should be your own safety and the safety of anyone else involved in the crash. Exit the vehicle if it’s safe to do so and move to a secure location away from traffic. Call emergency services if there are any injuries, and report the accident to local authorities as required by Ontario law. Even if you feel okay, it’s wise to get a medical check-up — airbag deployment often causes bruises, burns, or whiplash injuries.

Do Not Attempt to Drive the Vehicle

Once an airbag has deployed, your vehicle is no longer safe to drive. In many cases, the steering wheel, dashboard, and seatbelt pretensioners may be damaged, and the engine may be programmed to shut down or limit power to prevent further damage. Driving a vehicle post-deployment could cause mechanical issues or make it harder to prove insurance claims. Instead, call a trusted towing service — like the one provided by Mann Auto — to safely transport your vehicle to a certified collision repair centre.

Document the Incident Thoroughly

Take clear photos of your car’s condition, the deployed airbags, the crash scene, and any other vehicles involved. This documentation is helpful for both your insurance claim and the collision repair process. Make note of the time, location, weather conditions, and any statements from other drivers or witnesses. The more detailed your records, the smoother your claims process will be.

Contact Your Insurance Provider Promptly

Inform your insurance company as soon as possible. Most policies in Ontario require timely reporting to avoid delays or denial of coverage. Your insurer may recommend approved repair shops, but you have the legal right to choose your own collision centre. Mann Auto Collision Centre works directly with most major insurance providers and can guide you through the claim process while protecting your best interests.

Schedule a Full Damage Assessment

Airbag deployment often signals extensive hidden damage — not just cosmetic but also structural and electronic. At Mann Auto, our certified technicians perform a full diagnostic scan to evaluate the safety systems, impact sensors, seatbelt pretensioners, and structural integrity of your vehicle. We provide a detailed repair estimate and work closely with your insurance to ensure nothing gets overlooked. Our goal is to bring your car back to pre-accident condition — both aesthetically and functionally.

Understand Airbag System Repairs Are Complex

Replacing airbags isn’t as simple as swapping out a part. Modern vehicles include complex networks of sensors and modules that must be recalibrated precisely. Failing to do so can lead to malfunctioning safety systems or further deployment errors. Mann Auto uses OEM-approved parts and advanced diagnostic tools to ensure your airbag system is fully restored to factory standards — ensuring your safety in the event of another collision.

Why Choose Mann Auto Collision Centre After a Crash

When airbags deploy, you need more than just a body shop — you need a collision centre that understands the full scope of safety system repairs. At Mann Auto, we offer:

• In-house towing and roadside assistance
  
• Direct insurance billing and support
  
• Expert structural and sensor repairs
  
• Full airbag system diagnostics and recalibration

Rust-Proofing: Your First Line of Defense Against Salt and Moisture

Road salt, slush, and moisture accumulate rapidly in winter, especially along the undercarriage, wheel wells, and panel joints. If left untreated, these areas become breeding grounds for rust, which can quietly corrode metal components and weaken your vehicle’s frame. Rust can even void your warranty or lower resale value. At Mann Auto, we offer professional rust-proofing and undercoating treatments that create a durable barrier, especially important if your car has been in a prior collision and is more susceptible to corrosion.

Check and Replace Fluids for Winter Conditions

Fluids like engine oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid behave differently in cold weather. Using the wrong type, or failing to top them up, can lead to serious issues like frozen radiators or reduced engine efficiency. Mann Auto technicians recommend switching to a winter-grade oil and ensuring your coolant-to-water ratio is optimal. We also use freeze-resistant washer fluids to maintain visibility during snowstorms or icy mornings. These small checks go a long way in preventing winter breakdowns.

Inspect Your Battery Before It Dies in the Cold

Batteries lose about 30–50% of their power in sub-zero temperatures. If your battery is older than three years or struggling to start on chilly mornings, it’s at high risk of failure during the peak of winter. Our battery diagnostic service includes voltage testing, cable inspection, and terminal cleaning to ensure strong cold-weather cranking. We’ll help you avoid the inconvenience and danger of being stranded in the middle of a snowy commute.

Install Winter Tires and Check Wheel Alignment

Winter tires are designed with a softer rubber compound and deeper tread patterns to provide better grip on ice and snow. Even if your car is equipped with all-season tires, switching to dedicated winter tires can reduce stopping distances by up to 25%. While installing tires, Mann Auto can also check your wheel alignment — an often-overlooked factor that can lead to uneven tire wear and poor handling in slippery conditions. Especially after a recent collision, misalignment may go unnoticed until it becomes a serious safety issue.

Evaluate Brakes and Suspension for Winter Readiness

Your vehicle’s braking and suspension systems must be in top shape to handle sudden stops, slippery roads, and extra stress caused by cold-weather driving. During your winter prep appointment, our technicians will inspect brake pads, rotors, and calipers for wear, and check suspension components like struts and shocks for leaks or damage. A responsive braking system can mean the difference between a safe stop and a costly accident on icy roads.

Upgrade Wipers, Lights, and Defrost Systems

Visibility is critical in winter driving — yet many drivers neglect wipers and lighting systems until it’s too late. Before the snow begins, replace your wiper blades with heavy-duty winter versions, and ensure your defroster and heater are functioning properly. Mann Auto checks your headlights, taillights, and fog lights for brightness and alignment, ensuring you stay seen and safe in snowstorms or early nightfall.

Why Choose Mann Auto Collision Centre for Winter Prep Services?

Mann Auto Collision Centre doesn’t just fix cars — we help you prevent damage before it starts. Our family-run team understands Ontario winters and offers trusted, full-service winterization solutions.

The Silent Threat: How Rust Starts After a Collision

Rust doesn’t happen overnight. But once it takes hold, it spreads—silently weakening your vehicle’s metal body and frame. After an accident, chips in the paint, cracked sealants, and exposed panels become vulnerable to moisture, salt, and road grime, especially in Ontario’s weather conditions.

During winter, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) roads are heavily salted to prevent ice buildup. This salt, when combined with moisture, accelerates the rusting process. Even a tiny paint chip can become a gateway for corrosion, especially in wheel wells, rocker panels, and undercarriage components.

Why Rust-Proofing After an Accident Is Essential

Many drivers assume rust-proofing is a seasonal or optional service. However, after a collision, it becomes urgently necessary. Here’s why:

• Post-repair metalwork and sanding often remove protective coatings, exposing bare metal.
  
• Unpainted welds and joint seams from body panel repairs are vulnerable to oxidation.
  
• Traditional insurance repairs may focus on aesthetics, not long-term protection.
  

Rust-proofing acts as a barrier, sealing out moisture and preventing corrosion before it starts. At Mann Auto, we use industry-grade rust inhibitors that penetrate seams and cavities, especially in high-risk zones.

Panel Restoration: Beyond Cosmetic Repairs

Replacing or reshaping a damaged panel isn’t enough. If internal rust is already forming—or if the restoration isn’t done right—it can compromise the structural integrity of your car. That’s why our panel restoration process includes:

• Thorough inspection for internal damage and moisture traps
  
• Professional rust removal and anti-corrosion coating application
  
• Precision welding, sanding, and sealing techniques
  
• Color-matched refinishing using manufacturer-grade paint systems
  

GTA Weather Makes Rust a Bigger Risk Than You Think

Drivers in Brampton, Mississauga, and across the GTA face unique challenges. The fluctuating temperatures, slushy winters, and salt-heavy roads are perfect conditions for rust to thrive. If your car has been in a fender bender—even a minor one—it’s critical to take preemptive action. The longer you wait, the more expensive and damaging the repairs can become.

Why Choose Mann Auto Collision Centre for Rust Prevention & Repair?

At Mann Auto Collision Centre, we don’t believe in surface-level fixes. Our end-to-end collision repair services include comprehensive rust-proofing and panel restoration because we care about the long-term strength and safety of your vehicle.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Full-Service Collision Centre with towing, diagnostics, refinishing, and rust protection

Why Structural Integrity Matters for Safety

Your vehicle’s structure plays a direct role in occupant safety. A weakened or misaligned frame compromises:

• Airbag timing and deployment
• Crash energy distribution
• Door and cabin reinforcement
  
• Handling and braking precision
  

How We Diagnose Hidden Structural Damage

At Mann Auto Collision Centre, we use computerized measuring systems and frame diagnostic technology to uncover what you can’t see. Our technicians follow a meticulous process:

• Full post-accident structural scan
  
• Frame measurement to millimeter accuracy
  
• Inspection of welds, joints, subframe, and suspension
  
• Insurance-approved diagnostics with photos and reports
  

Our Structural Repair Process

We believe in fixing vehicles the right way, not the easy way. Here’s how we approach structural damage:

1. Teardown Inspection – We disassemble affected areas to access internal components.
   
2. Frame Straightening – Using a computerized pulling system to bring everything back to factory specs.
   
3. OEM-Welded Repairs – Spot welders replicate original structural welds for manufacturer-grade reinforcement.
   
4. Part Replacement (When Needed) – Critical parts like rails or rocker panels are replaced using OEM parts.
   
5. Re-Measurement & Alignment – Final scans confirm everything is within tolerances before painting and reassembly.
   

Insurance May Cover Structural Repairs

Many drivers skip structural repair due to cost concerns — but if you’re making a collision insurance claim, this damage is often fully covered. Our team works directly with all major insurance providers to ensure:

• Proper repair authorization
  
• Documentation of internal damage
  
• No shortcuts or overlooked issues
  

Why Choose Mann Auto Collision Centre?

When it comes to your car’s strength and safety, shortcuts are never an option. Here’s what sets Mann Auto Collision Centre apart in the GTA:

• Structural Experts – Our technicians are I-CAR Gold Class certified in frame and unibody repairs.

Bring your car to Mann Auto Collision Centre for a proper post-collision inspection and a full structural repair plan. Your safety is worth it — and we’re here to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road ahead.

Why Used Car Prices Are Going Up

Several key factors are putting upward pressure on used vehicle prices in Ontario:

1. Tariffs & import costs: New tariffs introduced in 2025 on U.S. and imported vehicles and auto parts mean new car prices are rising substantially. While used cars aren’t directly taxed, the ripple effect is pushing more buyers toward used models.

2. Supply shortages: Many lease returns and older vehicles were delayed during supply chain disruptions. With fewer vehicles entering the market, demand is exceeding supply.

3. High demand from buyers avoiding new car premiums: As new car prices become prohibitive, many more buyers enter the used car market, driving up prices further.

4. Slow depreciation in a tight market: Vehicles that in normal conditions would lose value faster are holding value because fewer alternatives are available.

How This Trend Affects Repair Decisions for Ontario Drivers

With used car values climbing, repair choices shift in several important ways:

Greater willingness to repair
When your car is high in value, it often makes more sense to repair than to write it off. Owners are more inclined to invest in proper repairs (bodywork, paint, frame work) rather than scrapping or selling.

Emphasis on quality repairs
Because buyers expect good condition for the price they pay, high-quality finish, matching paint, and structural integrity become more important. Cheaper or cosmetic-only fixes may hurt resale or trade-in value down the line.

Longer lifespan expectations
Drivers are keeping used vehicles for longer. This raises the importance of robust repairs and corrosion protection—not just quick fixes.

Parts & labor costs increase
As vehicles age and parts become scarcer—especially for older or foreign models—repair parts become more expensive. Thus, shops must balance quality and cost.

Why Mann Auto Collision Centre Is Well-Positioned for This Market Shift

At Mann Auto, we’ve adjusted our operations and service offerings to better match the evolving needs of GTA and Ontario drivers dealing with this used car pricing pressure.

Surface Preparation is the Foundation of Quality Paintwork
Before we apply any paint, we meticulously prepare the surface. Our process involves deep cleaning, degreasing, sanding, applying filler to dents, and finishing with primer to seal and smooth the area. At Mann Auto Collision Centre, we use premium primers and fillers and follow manufacturer-recommended procedures to ensure durability and smoothness from the very start.

Perfect Colour Matching Requires Technology and Skill
Matching your car’s exact paint shade isn’t just about choosing the right color from a palette. We use advanced computerized systems that match OEM paint codes and formulas to deliver an exact match—even for complex pearlescent or metallic finishes.

Our team is trained to blend paint seamlessly, so the repaired area is indistinguishable from the original body. At Mann Auto, we match colours with near-laboratory precision.

The Base Coat Brings the Colour to Life
Once prepared, we apply the base coat in multiple, controlled layers. This is the layer that gives your vehicle its recognizable colour, and it must be applied with consistent technique and care.

We apply base coats in a controlled, dust-free spray booth to eliminate imperfections. Our experienced technicians ensure every coat is smooth, even, and vibrant.

The Clear Coat Adds Gloss and Protection
After the base coat dries, we apply a high-quality clear coat. This gives the paint its shine and acts as a protective layer against UV rays, road salt, scratches, and weather.

Mann Auto Collision Centre uses only OEM-quality clear coats that offer long-term protection while enhancing the depth and gloss of your vehicle’s finish.

Curing and Polishing Ensure a Flawless Final Look
After painting, the vehicle goes through a curing process using infrared or heated booths to harden the paint. Once cured, we wet sand, buff, and polish the surface to a mirror-like shine.

Every car at Mann Auto receives a full inspection and polish treatment to remove even microscopic imperfections, ensuring a flawless, showroom-quality finish.

1. Windshields Are Key to Your Car’s Structural Integrity

Your vehicle’s windshield does more than block wind and debris — it’s a vital safety component. In rollover accidents, the windshield helps maintain the roof’s structural integrity, reducing the risk of collapse. It also plays a crucial role in airbag deployment, supporting proper inflation timing and direction. High-strength adhesives used to install windshields require time to cure properly, a safety factor known as Safe Drive Away Time (SDAT). Cutting corners here can put your safety at risk.

2. Repair vs. Replacement: Knowing What’s Safe

Understanding when to repair or replace your windshield can prevent unnecessary expenses. Small chips or cracks under 2 to 2.5 inches—especially those away from edges and sensors—can often be safely repaired. However, replacement becomes necessary when cracks spread to the edge, impair the driver’s view, are numerous, or affect the inner laminate. Mann Auto Collision Centre’s experts ensure the correct solution is chosen for your safety and peace of mind.

3. ADAS Systems Can Be Compromised Without Recalibration

Modern vehicles come equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that rely on windshield-mounted sensors and cameras. These systems support crucial features like lane-keeping assist, emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and forward collision warnings. After windshield replacement, proper ADAS recalibration is non-negotiable. Skipping this step can lead to system malfunction, jeopardizing your vehicle’s ability to protect you in critical moments.

4. Quick Fixes Can Cost More in the Long Run

DIY kits and mobile quick-fix solutions might look appealing, but they often cause more harm than good. Improperly bonded windshields can weaken your car’s structural integrity, while unregulated adhesives may not meet safety standards. DIY repairs may also void warranties and complicate insurance claims. What seems like a cheap fix today could lead to a full, costly replacement tomorrow.

5. Insurance & Legal Impacts

Many insurance providers in the GTA cover professional windshield repairs, often with no deductible, making expert service an easy choice. In some cases, timely repair is required to qualify for full claim coverage. Ignoring a cracked windshield too long might mean a denied claim. Additionally, a visibly damaged windshield could result in a safety violation or cause your vehicle to fail an inspection—adding unnecessary legal trouble to the mix.

Cosmetic Damage Often Hides Structural Issues

That small dent or scrape on your bumper might seem harmless, but it could mask underlying frame damage, misalignment, or internal part stress. Delaying an inspection could allow a hidden issue to worsen over time.

It Can Decrease Your Vehicle’s Resale Value

Unrepaired dents and scratches make your car look poorly maintained — a red flag to buyers and dealerships. Even minor visual damage can knock hundreds or thousands off your resale or trade-in value.

Small Paint Chips Can Lead to Rust

A chipped area may expose bare metal, allowing moisture and salt (especially in Ontario winters) to create rust. What starts as a $150 fix can turn into a costly panel replacement if ignored.

You May Jeopardize Your Insurance Claim

Some insurance providers have time limits on reporting or repairing damage. Waiting too long may result in denied claims or reduced payouts — leaving you on the hook for the full repair cost later.

Safety Systems May Be Compromised

Modern cars are packed with sensors in the bumpers, doors, and frame. Even a minor hit can misalign or disable crucial safety features like parking sensors, lane assist, or airbags.

Why Fixing Minor Damage with Mann Auto Collision Centre is Good Choice?

  We use advanced diagnostics to detect both visible and hidden damage.

What Is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment refers to the angles at which your wheels meet the road. A proper alignment ensures your tires make even contact with the pavement, supporting stable handling, optimal tire wear, and fuel efficiency. The main components of alignment include:

• Toe – the angle your tires point inward or outward
  
• Camber – the vertical tilt of your tires
  
• Caster – the angle of your steering axis
  

How Collisions Affect Wheel Alignment

Collisions — even low-speed ones — can impact your suspension, steering, and wheel angles. Common scenarios that cause misalignment include:

• Hitting a curb or pothole during an accident
  
• Side or frontal impacts that push the wheels out of position
  
• Damage to the control arms, tie rods, or struts
  
• Frame shifts that alter wheel geometry
  

Signs You Need a Realignment After a Collision

Here are key signs that your vehicle might need an alignment check at Mann Auto:

• Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight
  
• The car pulls left or right on a flat road
  
• You feel vibrations in the steering wheel
  
• Tires are wearing unevenly or faster than usual
  
• Your car feels unstable when braking or turning
  

How Mann Auto Collision Centre Handles Realignment

At Mann Auto Collision Centre, our post-collision alignment service involves:

• A full digital alignment check using industry-leading equipment
