Carbon fibre has become the material of choice for high-end vehicle manufacturers—from Porsche and BMW to Bentley, Mercedes, and more. Known for its sleek look and impressive strength-to-weight ratio, it’s used in everything from hoods and bumpers to roofs and structural components.

But as advanced as carbon fibre is, repairing it isn’t straightforward. In fact, it’s one of the most complex materials to work with in the collision repair industry—and it requires far more than traditional tools or techniques.

At Modern Auto Body, we’re factory certified by several of the world’s leading luxury brands, meaning we’re trusted to restore vehicles using exact manufacturer standards—including carbon fibre repair. If your vehicle features carbon fibre components, here’s what you should know before handing over the keys.

When your BMW needs body repair, you don’t want just any shop working on it — you want factory-certified expertise, precision tools, and a commitment to maintaining the performance, safety, and aesthetics BMW is known for.

At Modern Auto Body, we’re proud to be a BMW Certified Collision Repair Centre (CCRC). This certification isn’t easy to earn — and that’s exactly why it matters.

Here’s what it means to be a BMW-certified body shop, what it takes to qualify, and why BMW owners in Edmonton trust us with their vehicles.

If your car has a dent, ding, or crease, you might be wondering what the best repair method is. Should you go with Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), or is traditional auto body repair the right choice?

At Modern Auto Body in Edmonton, Alberta, we specialize in both methods — and as a factory-certified collision repair centre for 14 luxury and performance brands, we know how to restore your vehicle to its original condition with precision and care.

Here’s how these two repair options compare, and how to decide which one is best for your vehicle.

Owning a Porsche isn’t just about transportation — it’s about precision, performance, and pride. And when your vehicle needs collision repair, cutting corners is never an option. At Modern Auto Body, we’re proud to be factory certified to repair Porsche vehicles, and that certification is more than just a title — it’s a strict standard we’re trusted to meet.

Here’s what it actually takes to become Porsche Approved, and why that matters for every Porsche driver in Edmonton.

As Edmonton warms up and the roads clear, it’s finally time to open the garage and bring your summer car back to life. Whether it’s a Porsche 911, BMW M4, or another luxury performance vehicle, taking your car out of storage requires more than just turning the key.

At Modern Auto Body, we know what these cars mean to their owners—because we’re enthusiasts, too. We’re proud to be factory certified to repair luxury brands such as Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, and we treat every vehicle that comes through our doors with the same care and precision we’d give our own.

Here’s what to check when you’re getting your summer car road-ready—and how to avoid damage that may have crept in over the off-season.

Spring in Edmonton is a welcome change after months of snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. But as we transition from winter to warmer weather, many drivers are surprised to discover small issues with their vehicle’s exterior that weren’t visible—or didn’t exist—just a few weeks ago.

At Modern Auto Body, we often see a rise in dent and body repair needs in the spring. Whether it’s subtle damage from winter driving or wear from fluctuating temperatures, spring is the perfect time to take a closer look at your vehicle’s condition. Here’s how seasonal changes can impact your car’s exterior—and why it matters.

If you drive a high-end or luxury vehicle—such as a Tesla, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, or Land Rover—there’s a good chance your car features aluminum body panels. These panels are becoming more common across premium automotive brands due to their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and contribution to improved fuel efficiency and performance.

However, when it comes to repairing dents or dings, aluminum behaves quite differently than traditional steel. Many vehicle owners aren’t sure whether aluminum panels can be repaired using Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)—a method that preserves the original paint and finish. The good news is: yes, aluminum can be repaired with PDR. But it requires specialized tools, training, and experience.

When it comes to luxury and high-end cars, every detail matters—whether it’s performance, aesthetics, or even the repairs done over time. If you’re a proud owner of a luxury vehicle, one thing you might not always consider is how the quality of repairs can affect the resale value of your car. At Modern Auto Body, we understand the significant investment that comes with owning high-end cars, and we’re here to explain why choosing the right repair shop can protect that investment, especially when it’s time to sell or trade in your vehicle.
