Collision Repair Equipment — Michigan
Collision Repair Equipment for Michigan Shops
In the home of the domestic auto industry, Michigan shops work Ford, GM, and Stellantis programs every day — and repair the aluminum-bodied trucks those automakers build by the millions. Innovative Solutions CRTE, the U.S. official importer of GYS collision repair equipment, supplies the aluminum stations, spot welders, rivet guns, induction heaters, MIG welders, and ADAS tools that work demands, with hands-on equipment support from Detroit, Warren, and Dearborn to Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Flint.
Featured equipment for Michigan shops
Aluminum trucks and domestic OEM programs
Aluminum-bodied trucks like the F-150 are everywhere in Michigan, and they demand segregated repair — a dedicated aluminum station, aluminum stud welding and pulling, and self-piercing riveting. For steel structure, Ford, GM, and Stellantis programs call for squeeze-type spot welding to spec — match a welder on the STRSW OEM chart.
Michigan winters, seized bolts, and power
Salted Michigan winters seize fasteners and corrode structure. Induction heating frees stuck bolts and lifts trim without flame, and TEXA ADAS handles calibration. If your building is single-phase, a phase converter powers an OEM welder — see the electrical requirements.
