West Body Shop

The Only Shop that does IN-House Airbag Service

Airbags are assemblies consisting of the airbag (made of Nylon), inflator modules, and sensor housing, electrical connectors (clockspring), airbag retainer, and the cover you see which usually says "SRS" on it. The driver's side bag is mounted in the center of your steering wheel. IN-House Airbag Service AIRBAG Deployment
To the left is an illustration of a driver side airbag deployment. The first image is the airbag inflation, the second is your contact with the airbag, and the third is your coming to rest in the seat and the deflation of the airbag. This all takes place in about 30 milliseconds.

 
When you are involved in a frontal collision somewhere in the neighborhood of at least 12-15 mph, a number of things happen very quickly. The sudden deceleration of your vehicle causes 2 SENSORS to send an electrical signal to the diagnostic module. The diagnostic module self tests to confirm that a crash event is taking place, then it allows the signal to trigger the airbag deployment.

We take care of all your airbag needs from installation to re-install after deployment.  At West Body, we do all of our airbag services in-house.  You will know who is working on your vehicle, and when it will be completed.  We have no variables from sending work out to be done.  Our trained staff works together to ensure your work is done techincally sound and in the shortest amount of down time possible.
