Mechanical and electrical parts may also be damaged in a collision. This type of damage is repaired by an alignment and mechanical repair technician. Some of these problems may not be found until the vehicle is disassembled. Scan tools connect to the vehicle's computer to identify and clear trouble codes caused by the collision. All mechanical and electrical systems have the potential for being damaged in a collision, but most often it is the airbags and seatbelts, steering and suspension, wheel alignment, tires, and brakes.
