Our Process |
|
Part of our process is highlighted by the AdvanceCure Accelerated Airflow System. This system allows us to be more productive, more cost efficient, and produce higher quality work. These benefits are accomplished by greatly reducing the time required to cure (dry) the coating through a high velocity airflow. In turn, we are able to pass on our savings in time and money to the customer. Below you can see videos demonstrating the difference between a system without AdvanceCure and a system with AdvanceCure.
| Video 1 & 2 - Hood |
Without AdvanceCure |

| Here you can see the illustrative smoke lingering on the surface of the vehicle, just as the paint solvents and fume would. This prevents the solvents lying underneath from being extracted from the coating, and delays the curing process. |
Now with AdvanceCure turned on, the high-velocity air breaks up the low-pressure layer that caused the smoke to linger on the surface. This rapid movement of air draws solvents out of the coating in a more efficient manner, providing much faster curing and drying. |
| Video 3 & 4 - Side Panel |

| Again from this angle, we can see how the smoke lingers on the hood, and how uneven the airflow is in a typical downdraft booth. The air moves slowly over the hood and other horizontal surfaces, and rapidly over the wheel area. This uneven airflow causes some areas of the painted surface to cure faster than others. |
With AdvanceCure turned on, you can see the accelerated airflow removing the smoke from the surface in a much more even manner. This allows all surfaces of the vehicle to cure and dry at the same rate, and achieve a faster overall cure than is typically possible. |
| Video 5 & 6 - Entire Vehicle |
Without AdvanceCure |
With AdvanceCure |
| With the help of some aminated graphics, you can see how the air moves inside a typical downdraft paint booth. The air moves from the top-down, slowly over the horizontal surfaces like the roof and hood, and then moves faster as it is drawn to the exhaust pit. |
Here we see the difference AdvanceCure makes in the overall airflow inside the paint booth. By providing faster airflow from all angles, the painted surfaces are exposed to uniform heat and airflow to achieve the fastest drying and curing times possible. |
| Video 7 & 8 - Heat Rise |
Without AdvanceCure |
With AdvanceCure |
| With no acceleration of the airflow, downdraft booths are always warmer near the ceiling filters than they are near the exhaust pit. This causes the upper surfaces of the vehicle to warm up faster than the lower surfaces of the vehicle. This delay causes lenghty curing times and uneven drying. |
By accelerating and mixing up the air inside the paint booth, the entire vehicle is brought up to optimum surface temperature much more quickly. This improved heat rise of the painted panels allows the fast moving air to draw solvents out of the coating at a uniform rate, and minimizes the total time required for a complete cure. |

Testimonials |

Thank you, Ken, for your diligent and helpful attitude in repairing my 2002 VW Jetta. I highly recommend your services to anyone who may need to have auto body work completed. The work is top-notch; you cannot even tell that the colors had to be blended.
Thank you once again for giving me a brief tour of your facility and a look at your work in process when I dropped off my vehicle. I left with nothing but the highest level of confidence that the work on our car would anything less than superb. I also appreciate the follow up and status report you provided the day after I left my vehicle at your shop.
Many thanks,
Jim Dargis
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with Basa's. Starting with a very competitive estimate, I found my dealings with Ken to be straight forward and consistent. Ken and team did a great job repairing my car 2010 Acura TL) and had the work completed when promised. I have found a shop for any future body work I might need done.
Thanks
Jeff Mader
Of course, getting in a collision can be stressful and devastating. Bringing your car to Basa's Collision will take a huge weight off your back. I was speechless when i was shown the equipment and tools that would be used to fix my vehicle along with the knowledge and explanation of the process. Basa's will go out of their way and above and beyond to make sure your vehicle looks like it just came off the factory line.
