ADVANCED JOINING TECHNOLOGY
Welding Technology
Modern vehicle structures rely on precise joining methods that go far beyond traditional welding. At Anthony’s Auto Craft, every weld is performed according to manufacturer specifications using advanced equipment, certified procedures, and material-specific techniques designed to restore original strength and structural performance.

At Anthony’s, we use GYS welding systems — industry-leading equipment engineered for precision, strength, and safety. Our team is trained to perform multiple types of welding to restore your vehicle’s structure exactly to factory standards, ensuring proper alignment, durability, and long-term performance. We handle every kind of modern automotive welding, including MIG, TIG, spot, plasma, resistance, and silicon bronze processes, depending on the vehicle’s materials and repair requirements. Each welding method serves a specific purpose, and our technicians select the right one for your car’s make, model, and structural design.
Steel Welding
For traditional steel components, we use MIG and resistance spot welding. These methods replicate factory welds, providing strong bonds and maintaining the car’s original structural integrity. MIG welding ensures deep penetration and excellent strength, while resistance welding is ideal for joining factory panels quickly and cleanly without distorting surrounding materials.

Aluminum Welding
Modern vehicles often feature lightweight aluminum panels and frames for better efficiency and performance. Our TIG and MIG aluminum welding systems, supported by inert gas protection, ensure clean, precise welds that prevent contamination and preserve the metal’s strength.
We also use liquid plasma welding where additional heat control and precision are critical, especially for thin or sensitive aluminum sections.

Micro Control
Advanced digital systems for microscopic accuracy in penetration.
Advanced Brazing
Silicon Bronze Welding
For high-end repairs and corrosion-resistant joints, we use silicon bronze MIG brazing — a technique recommended by most manufacturers. It’s ideal for joining dissimilar metals, repairing outer body panels, and preserving the integrity of galvanized surfaces. This method uses lower heat than traditional welding, reducing the risk of warping or damaging surrounding materials.
Restoration Systems
Precision Tools and Equipment
Alongside our GYS welders, we use GYS rivet guns and dent pullers for structural and cosmetic panel repairs. These tools allow us to recreate OEM joining methods for vehicles built with advanced materials and safety systems, restoring every component to its original fit and finish. Our welding technology isn’t just about repair—it’s about precision and longevity.

Troubleshooting Guide
Why is the airbag warning on after a collision?
A warning can indicate a fault affecting the restraint system, even if an airbag did not deploy. Do not erase it or assume the restraints will work normally. Arrange qualified assessment and tell Anthony's Auto Craft the exact warning before planning vehicle delivery.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
What should I do if my bumper or underbody trim is hanging loose?
Loose parts can detach or contact a tire or the road. Stop somewhere safe and do not reach beneath the vehicle in traffic. Describe the loose area to Anthony's Auto Craft and arrange assistance if the vehicle cannot be moved safely.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
There is a new leak after the collision. Is it safe to drive?
The source and severity cannot be established from fluid color alone. Do not continue driving with a substantial leak, fuel smell, smoke or a critical warning. Keep clear of leaking fluids and contact appropriate assistance; advise Anthony's Auto Craft of the leak before delivery.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
Why are parking-sensor or driver-assistance warnings appearing after impact?
Damage or displacement near a sensor or camera can affect its operation, but testing is needed to establish the cause. Do not rely on an affected assistance feature. Give Anthony's Auto Craft the exact warning and impact location so any required inspection or calibration can be considered.Learn More About Luxury Collision RepairLearn More About Mercedes Body RepairLearn More About Maserati Body Repair
