Faqs

A prior salvage title means the vehicle was once declared a total loss by an insurance company. However, this doesn't always mean it was badly damaged—some have only minor issues. We evaluate these vehicles, repair them to their original condition, and sell them for up to 30% less than similar vehicles with clean titles, offering you significant savings!

Purchasing from a trustworthy dealership eliminates any concerns. Every single vehicle in our inventory undergoes an examination by the Minnesota Department of Vehicle Services. Moreover, you have the option to have your chosen vehicle inspected by your personal mechanic before finalizing the purchase. Additionally, we provide photographic documentation of each vehicle before the repair process starts. This allows you to gauge the extent of the damage, including airbag deployment and other pertinent details.

After an airbag deploys in an accident, it can't be repaired and must be replaced. This includes resetting or replacing the airbag module and installing a new OEM airbag. At Ace Auto, we use only OEM airbags, ensuring they work as designed in future accidents.

In some accidents, a skilled technician may perform frame restoration. This involves securing the vehicle with clamps and using hydraulic tools to realign the structure to its original specifications. At Ace Auto, our frame technicians specialize in specific makes and models, ensuring precise repairs. Every vehicle is also alignment-checked before being put up for sale.
