Looking for a Hyundai auto body shop near you? Auto Body Hub LLC repairs Hyundai vehicles for drivers across Linden, Elizabeth, Rahway and Union County — Elantra, Tucson, Santa Fe, Sonata and Palisade and the rest of the lineup. Free written estimates, all insurance companies accepted, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee on most collision and paint work.
Hyundai has moved heavily to advanced high-strength steel, which cannot be straightened with heat the way older mild steel could — damaged sections must be replaced per Hyundai's procedures. SmartSense camera and radar systems require recalibration after front-end repairs.
This is why the shop you choose matters. A repair that looks perfect on the surface can still leave a vehicle less safe than it was before the accident if the underlying structure or safety systems weren't handled to the manufacturer's spec.
Is Hyundai's high-strength steel repairable?
Some of it, and some of it isn't — that's the honest answer. Hyundai specifies exactly which sections may be repaired versus replaced, because advanced high-strength steel loses its properties when heated. We follow those procedures rather than straightening something that should have been replaced.
Hyundai and Kia repairs are a large share of our work, and we follow the maker's published procedures on each. We deal with the insurance company directly — estimates, photos, supplements and adjuster negotiation — so your only job is bringing us the car. See how our insurance claim handling works →
