Russian mechanics possess brilliant skills that are exceedingly rare in the huge realm of auto maintenance. They provide a public service that is both outstanding and conspicuous, particularly when it comes to the not-so-humble craft of automobile sheet metal repair. They do something much more profound, however, when fixing up their customers' vehicles—something that ought to be viewed as a national treasure. When Russian mechanics repair the sheet metal on a Toyota Prius or Renault Duster, they practice a kind of dentology that is part high art and part secret magic, with a heavy reliance on the old-school craft of using hammers and dollies.
Cultural Heritage and Historical Background: The Cultivation of an Automobile Maintenance Culture Sheet metal repair technology has a long history in Russia, and the way tradition and modernity intertwine is emblematic of the larger industrial culture of performance that exists throughout the country. The Soviet Union produced and holds a great many automobiles that have aged and now need repair. Yet, even with their age, these automobiles remain a great source of pride for a great many individuals. There's nothing quite like the sound of a Lada starting up, or the sight of a Moskvitch (another classic Soviet automobile) cruising the streets of your neighborhood. Long before the current Russian automobile industry ever entered the modern era, skilled personnel had already laid the foundation for a performance-driven industrial culture that would only grow through both necessity and pride.
The stubbornness and investigative nature of the Russian national character are also present in the realm of sheet metal repair. When faced with a vehicle that has sustained complex, serious damage, workers behave as scientists do when grappling with a tough problem. They might it difficult to understand and interpret what has happened to the vehicle. They mightize what is the best way to get the thing fixed, and appear to have the patience of saints. Indeed, that seems to be a necessary virtue of a complex situation in which appearance and the two-for-one combo of "clamshells" and "prime painting" have become the main criteria for a good repair.
Section II: The Education and Training Establishment: Cultivating Talent Since the genesis of vocational education, many professional layers have developed across our country. There are several sheet metal assembly associations just outside the many vocational colleges that exist across the expanse of our nation. Our vocational education doesn’t produce magic or provide shortcuts. It labors for good through the hard work of our teachers, the students who attend, and the close cooperation of local businesses and industry across the command and support staff of the services and veterans' affairs offices.
The course's theoretical and practical components span the spectrum from uncomplicated dent repair to intricate body structure reconstruction. Our close collaboration with auto-repair businesses ensures our students get ample opportunities to perform authentic automotive maintenance. This partnership not only provides a needed service to the community but also gives our students an unfettered access to virtually all the tools of the trade and maintenance bays found in an actual auto-repair establishment. These real-world settings allow our students to practice their almost magically cast sheet metal repair surmounting those ugly repairs suffered by all too many vehicles.
Technology comes in at number three on the Road to Perfect Repair. Using modern technology means making better repairs and also safer ones. We have at our disposal not just the basic tools of our trade but also modern, highly accurate, and precision-engineered tools, without which it would be nigh impossible to make the kinds of repairs we're trained to make. Yes, that includes making "perfect" repairs, to English standards, on Russian vehicles such as the VAZ-2106. But it equally applies to working on current or cutting-edge vehicle models, of which the VAZ is decidedly not one, as well as to any kinds of vehicle models that are no longer current.
The problem is not with the equipment. The problem is with the people making the equipment. It takes trained personnel to use the professional-grade tools of the vehicle maintenance trade, and there still are quite a few highly skilled workers employed in the vehicle repair business throughout much of the former Soviet Union. Those who are left tend to be pretty good at what they do, and the tools they use, well, the tools they can't work without are professional-grade, a generation ahead of the old-style equipment that once hampered their efforts—and they're trained how to use even the old, less efficient tools, for that matter. The tools used to actually pull the metal straight are far better than they used to be. There's a surprising amount of technology available in many of the shops still in operation across the ex-Soviet sphere, even if parts are in short supply.
IV. Research and Development: The Core of Scientific Repair Policymakers and scholars often use the term "research and development," or R&D, to refer to essential work that utilizes the scientific method to solve problems and create innovations. They understand R&D to be a core part of the mission of organizations, particularly in the public sector, that have an interest in those matters. The term has a part and whole relationship to "science and technology," as in "it's part science, part technology." In the automobile field, in-depth research on materials and processes of automobile sheet metal repair is conducted in Russia.
