One of the most critical safety components in a vehicle is the airbags. They deploy within milliseconds of a crash to protect vehicle occupants against more serious injuries. However, if your airbag deploys or its components are damaged, you need airbag replacement and repair service by our automotive safety repair technicians at Wayne Val Autobody to ensure safety and legal compliance.
The Importance of Airbag Systems
Airbags are part of your vehicle's safety system. Since model year 1999, all passenger vehicles must have driver and passenger front airbags to minimize injuries and save lives. Airbag systems consist of sensitive wiring, modules, and sensors, and even minor accidents can damage them. Whether you need airbag repair or replacement, our certified airbag repair technicians at Wayne Val Autobody are ready to help.
When You Must Replace Airbags
There are several situations in which you must replace your airbag immediately. At Wayne Val Autobody, we only do original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, airbag replacement, which keeps you legally compliant and ensures your airbag will operate properly in a crash.
After Deployment
Once an airbag inflates, you must replace it. Our airbag deployment repair technicians at Wayne Val Autobody fix your airbag so it meets legal and safety requirements. We also offer airbag maintenance services to keep your system working properly, as well as total vehicle safety system checks and services such as crash sensor replacement and vehicle restraint system repair.
After Collision Damage
Not every crash results in the need for automotive airbag installation. But even if airbags don’t deploy during a collision, the sensors, control module, or wiring may be compromised. Our collision repair team at Wayne Val Autobody will assess any airbag issues and include repairs in a detailed repair estimate.
After Warning Light Indicators Go Off
An illuminated supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbag dashboard light means you have a malfunction that requires immediate attention from a certified airbag technician. We will track down the specific source of the problem or complete the necessary airbag warning light repair.
The Airbag Replacement Process
Our collision airbag replacement services at Wayne Val Autobody include a full inspection of your system, airbag and component replacement, and a full system reset with testing.
Inspection and Diagnosis
During auto airbag diagnostics, our highly-trained technicians at Wayne Val Autobody scan your vehicle’s onboard computer to find crash codes. Our airbag inspection service also includes inspecting all SRS components for damage to determine every area of necessary SRS system repair.
Airbag and Airbag Module Replacement
The airbag control module serves as the brain of your SRS, so any issues can compromise your safety. At Wayne Val Autobody, we only use OEM control modules, airbags, and sensors, so you stay safe, pass inspection, and don't risk losing your insurance coverage due to using aftermarket parts.
In addition to automotive airbag installation, we also complete an airbag control module reset, airbag sensor replacement, and other services to restore your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
System Reset and Testing
Once repairs or replacements are complete, our detail-oriented team at Wayne Val Autobody will recalibrate and test your SRS. This ensures your airbags will deploy correctly if you have another crash and that your vehicle will pass safety inspections.
