Choice Collision Center Highlights Paint Refinishing Standards

Providence, RI - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Choice Collision Center is highlighting the role of automotive paint refinishing in modern collision repair as vehicle finishes, color formulations, and repair requirements continue to evolve.
The company's Providence location provides paint refinishing as part of applicable collision repairs. The process takes place after necessary body repairs or panel replacement and can include surface preparation, color identification, coating application, curing, and inspection of the completed finish.

Choice Collision Center is drawing attention to refinishing because modern vehicle finishes can involve multiple coating layers and increasingly varied color effects. Depending on the vehicle, a finish may incorporate primers, basecoat, clearcoat, metallic or pearl effects, or multi-stage color systems.
These differences mean the refinishing approach must be determined according to the vehicle, damaged area, existing finish, and coating system involved.
"Paint refinishing involves more than applying color to a repaired panel," said a representative of Choice Collision Center. "Technicians have to consider the existing finish, the repaired surface, the materials being applied, and the technical information associated with those materials."
Color identification is one of the key steps in the process.
A vehicle's paint code provides a starting point for identifying its original color, but additional evaluation may be necessary before refinishing begins. Existing finish condition, previous repairs, production color variants, and characteristics of metallic or pearl finishes can influence color selection.
Published refinishing guidance supports this approach. PPG Refinish's PD-0631: Identify Color Formula procedure directs technicians to identify the OEM color code, determine whether the repair or blend area was previously refinished, review available color variants, and verify a blendable color match. The procedure also calls for preparing a spray-out card when additional verification is necessary.
Choice Collision Center uses computerized color-matching resources during applicable refinishing work to assist with color identification and verification. The exact procedures used depend on the individual vehicle and repair.
Surface preparation is another important part of refinishing.
Automotive coating manufacturers provide technical documentation for the products used in their refinishing systems. These instructions can establish requirements for surface preparation, product mixing, application, flash times, and curing.
Technicians use the technical information applicable to the coating materials involved rather than applying one universal refinishing process to every repair.
This is particularly important when collision damage or repair work has disturbed the vehicle's existing coating system. Primers, basecoats, clearcoats, and other refinishing materials perform different functions and have product-specific application requirements.
Refinishing may also involve blending into an adjacent panel. This procedure can be used in appropriate situations to create a transition between a newly refinished area and the existing vehicle finish.
Blending is not required for every repair. Its use depends on factors such as the color, location of the repair, surrounding finish, and refinishing system.
The application environment also forms part of the refinishing process. Paint booths provide controlled airflow and filtration for coating application. Specific application and curing conditions are determined by the refinishing products, equipment, and associated technical instructions.
After the applicable coatings have been applied and cured, Choice Collision Center evaluates the refinished area before the vehicle proceeds through the remaining stages of repair. Depending on the work performed, the evaluation may include color appearance, gloss, surface condition, and consistency with surrounding finishes.
Paint refinishing also fits into a larger repair sequence.
Damaged panels must first be evaluated and repaired or replaced as necessary. Surfaces can then be prepared for refinishing before applicable components are reassembled and the vehicle moves through final repair procedures.
Keeping these operations coordinated allows refinishing requirements to be considered as part of the repair rather than as a separate cosmetic step performed at the end.
For vehicle owners, the process helps explain why two vehicles with apparently similar exterior damage may require different refinishing procedures. Differences in paint systems, panel materials, previous repairs, color variants, and the location of the damage can influence the work involved.
Choice Collision Center is highlighting these considerations to provide customers with additional information about the refinishing stage of collision repair and the procedures that can be involved in restoring damaged exterior finishes.
Additional information about automotive paint refinishing is available through Choice Collision Center. Company updates are also available through Choice Collision Center on Facebook.

Choice Collision Center Highlights Wheel Alignment After Collisions

Providence, RI - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Choice Collision Center is highlighting the role of computerized wheel alignment evaluation in certain collision repairs at its Providence location, particularly after impacts involving wheels, steering, suspension, or related vehicle structures.
Post-collision alignment measurements can provide information about wheel and suspension geometry that may not be apparent from exterior vehicle damage alone. Choice Collision Center uses the measurements when applicable to help evaluate whether an impact or related repair has affected wheel positioning.

A curb strike provides one example. A vehicle may sustain limited visible body damage while force from the impact travels through a wheel and surrounding suspension components. Direct wheel impacts and certain other collisions can create similar inspection considerations.
Computerized alignment equipment measures wheel angles and compares the results with specifications established for the individual vehicle. Common measurements include toe, camber, and caster.
When a measurement is outside the applicable specification, the result can indicate that further evaluation is necessary. Depending on the condition identified, technicians may need to address a steering, suspension, wheel, or related component before completing final alignment adjustments.
Choice Collision Center notes that the procedures required following collision damage are not universal.
Technicians refer to the applicable vehicle manufacturer's published repair information when determining whether alignment measurements and related procedures apply. Requirements can differ according to vehicle configuration, damaged components, and repairs performed.
This distinction has become increasingly relevant as newer vehicles integrate mechanical steering and suspension systems with electronic safety and driver-assistance technologies.
Depending on the vehicle and repair, manufacturer procedures may specify diagnostic, initialization, aiming, or calibration operations associated with particular components. Wheel alignment does not automatically require an advanced driver-assistance system calibration, and the presence of ADAS technology does not mean alignment is necessary after every collision.
Instead, the applicable manufacturer's procedures determine what additional operations are required for the vehicle being repaired.
Repair sequence can also affect alignment work. If collision inspection identifies a damaged steering or suspension component, that condition may need to be corrected before final measurements are taken. Alignment can then provide objective data about wheel geometry following the applicable repairs.
Drivers sometimes notice changes after an accident, including steering pull or an off-center steering wheel. These symptoms can have causes unrelated to collision damage, so measurements and component inspection are needed to determine the underlying condition.
Irregular tire wear can also occur when wheel geometry is incorrect, but alignment is only one possible cause. Tire pressure, existing component wear, maintenance history, and other mechanical conditions can also affect tread patterns.
For collision repair technicians, information about how an accident occurred can provide useful context. A direct wheel or curb impact, for example, may lead technicians to evaluate different components than an incident confined to an exterior body panel.
Computerized measurements add objective information to that evaluation by showing how wheel angles compare with the specifications applicable to the vehicle.
Choice Collision Center views wheel alignment as one potential component of a broader collision repair plan rather than a procedure automatically required after every accident. Whether alignment is appropriate depends on the damage identified, repairs performed, vehicle specifications, and applicable manufacturer procedures.
The company is highlighting the topic to help Providence-area vehicle owners better understand why wheel and suspension geometry may be evaluated during collision repair even when the most noticeable accident damage is elsewhere on the vehicle.
Information about post-collision alignment evaluation and the procedures available at the Providence location can be found in Choice Collision Center's wheel alignment information.

Washington Auto Collision Highlights Professional Auto Body Repair Services

Spokane Valley, WA - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Washington Auto Collision is providing information about its auto body repair services and the procedures involved in restoring vehicles following collisions and other types of exterior damage. Serving Spokane Valley and nearby communities, the collision repair facility handles vehicles affected by roadway accidents, parking lot incidents, weather-related damage, and other events requiring body repair.
Located at 16811 E Sprague Ave, Spokane Valley, WA 99037, Washington Auto Collision provides auto body repair services that can include damage inspection, repair planning, body panel repair or replacement, component alignment, and refinishing. The specific procedures required depend on the vehicle, the location of the damage, and the extent of the impact.

"Every vehicle arrives with a different combination of damage and repair requirements," said a representative of Washington Auto Collision. "The inspection and repair-planning stages help determine which components were affected and what procedures are appropriate for that particular vehicle."
According to the company, auto body repair often involves more than correcting visible dents, scratches, or damaged exterior panels. Modern vehicles can incorporate different types of steel, aluminum components, electronic equipment, and driver-assistance technology. These features can affect how collision damage is evaluated and how individual repairs are performed.
The process begins with an inspection of the affected areas. Depending on the nature of the accident, technicians may examine bumpers, doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods, lighting components, exterior trim, and other areas associated with the impact.
Information gathered during the inspection is then used to develop a repair plan. The plan identifies damaged components and the procedures expected to be involved in restoring the affected areas of the vehicle.
Some collision damage may not be immediately visible during an exterior inspection. Components located behind bumpers and body panels can also be affected by an impact. These may include brackets, retainers, fasteners, reinforcement components, and mounting points.
For this reason, the repair process can change when damaged exterior components are removed and previously concealed areas become accessible. Additional damage identified during disassembly can then be documented and incorporated into the repair plan when necessary.
Panel fit and alignment are also considered during auto body repairs. Doors, hoods, bumpers, fenders, liftgates, and other components are designed to fit within specific areas of the vehicle body. Collision forces can change their position or affect the components used to mount them.
Technicians can evaluate panel gaps and component operation as repairs progress. A door that became difficult to close after an accident, for example, may require evaluation of more than the visible exterior damage. Similarly, a bumper that no longer sits evenly against an adjacent fender may have damaged mounting components beneath its exterior surface.
Refinishing may be required when collision damage affects painted surfaces or when a body panel is repaired or replaced. The refinishing process can involve surface preparation, color matching, application of the appropriate coatings, and finishing procedures.
Automotive paint serves both cosmetic and protective functions. Restoring coatings to repaired areas helps cover surfaces exposed during the collision or repair process while returning the affected panels to a consistent appearance.
Vehicle technology is another consideration in contemporary auto body repair. Cameras, radar units, parking sensors, and other electronic components can be positioned in or around bumpers, mirrors, grilles, windshields, and exterior body panels.
When collision damage or subsequent repairs involve areas associated with these systems, vehicle-specific procedures may call for additional inspections, diagnostic steps, or calibration. Requirements vary according to the manufacturer, vehicle model, installed equipment, and repairs performed.
Washington Auto Collision also provides ADAS calibration services. Advanced driver-assistance systems can include functions such as forward collision warning, lane-related assistance, parking assistance, and other features that rely on cameras or sensors. Calibration requirements are determined according to the vehicle and the work being completed.
The company notes that repair planning has become increasingly vehicle-specific as automotive construction has evolved. Procedures that apply to one vehicle may not necessarily apply to another, even when exterior collision damage appears similar. Technicians therefore consider the affected components and applicable vehicle information when determining the repair sequence.
Parts requirements can also influence the progression of a repair. Once the affected components have been identified, necessary parts can be incorporated into the repair plan. If previously concealed damage is discovered after disassembly, additional components may need to be added before work proceeds to subsequent stages.
Communication with vehicle owners occurs throughout the repair process as information becomes available. Updates may address repair status, newly identified damage, parts considerations, or changes affecting the anticipated repair timeline.
The length and complexity of an auto body repair can vary considerably. A vehicle with localized exterior damage may require fewer procedures than one involving several body panels, concealed components, refinishing, and electronic systems. Evaluating each vehicle individually allows the repair process to reflect the damage identified during inspection and disassembly.
Inspections also take place as repairs are completed. Depending on the work performed, technicians may review panel fit, exterior finish, component installation, and other items included in the repair plan before the vehicle is returned to its owner.
For Spokane Valley drivers, understanding these stages can provide useful context when a vehicle requires body repair following an accident. The visible damage is only one part of the evaluation, and the complete repair scope may become clearer as technicians inspect and access the affected areas.
Washington Auto Collision continues to provide auto body repair, collision repair, and related services from its Spokane Valley facility as vehicle construction and repair requirements continue to change.
More information is available through Washington Auto Collision. Company information and updates are also available through Washington Auto Collision's Facebook page.

Dr. Jeffrey Tauth Expands CAD Care at New Arkansas Surgical Center

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Jeffrey G. Tauth, M.D., F.A.C.C., a board-certified interventional cardiologist, has announced that Hot Springs Heart and Vascular and the Vascular Center of Hot Springs now offer the full continuum of coronary artery disease care under one practice, from initial evaluation through intervention and long-term management.
The announcement follows the April 2026 opening of the Vascular Center of Hot Springs, the first cardiovascular ambulatory surgical center in central Arkansas. With the ASC now fully operational, patients with coronary artery disease can receive diagnostic testing, cardiac catheterization, stent procedures, and follow-up care without leaving Dr. Tauth’s practice or being referred into a hospital system.
“What has changed is that the entire care pathway now exists within one independent practice,” said Dr. Tauth. “A patient can come in with chest pain, complete their diagnostic workup, have a procedure if one is needed, and continue their long-term cardiac management here. Nothing has to be handed off.”
Dr. Tauth treats two distinct coronary artery disease patient populations at the practice. The first includes patients presenting with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or reduced exercise tolerance who have not yet received a formal CAD diagnosis. The second includes patients with established coronary artery disease who have previously experienced a heart attack, undergone bypass surgery, or had a stent placed and require ongoing cardiac management and monitoring.
He performs more cardiac stent procedures than any other cardiologist in the Hot Springs area. Stenting is a catheter-based procedure in which a small mesh tube is placed inside a narrowed coronary artery to restore blood flow. Because the Vascular Center of Hot Springs operates independently of any hospital system, Dr. Tauth said the practice can source devices from multiple manufacturers, rather than being limited by institutional purchasing agreements.
Hot Springs Heart and Vascular performs all diagnostic testing in-clinic, including stress testing, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiac imaging. Patients do not need to be referred to outside facilities for testing before a treatment plan can be established. Results are reviewed by Dr. Tauth directly, and when testing indicates that an intervention is needed, it can be scheduled at the Vascular Center of Hot Springs without the patient being transferred to a separate system.
“The patients I see who have already had a heart attack or a prior stent are not finished with their cardiac care,” said Dr. Tauth. “They are at the beginning of a long management process, and having a physician and a facility that can handle every part of that process matters.”
The practice also maintains a satellite clinic in Mena, Arkansas, where Dr. Tauth has provided cardiovascular care for more than 25 years. Patients evaluated at the Mena location who require cardiac catheterization or stenting are scheduled at the Hot Springs facility without a change in physician or practice.
Patients and referring physicians in central and western Arkansas can contact Hot Springs Heart and Vascular directly by phone, where calls are answered by clinic staff rather than an automated system. Dr. Tauth sees patients with active cardiac symptoms the same day they call.
With the Vascular Center of Hot Springs now fully operational, central Arkansas patients have access to coronary artery disease care that does not require navigating multiple facilities or physicians. The practice is accepting new patients and referrals from primary care physicians throughout the region.
For more information, visit Dr. Tauth’s website.
