Car Frame Repair and Straightening

state-of-the-art uni-body and frame repair

We are specialized in frame straightening and computerized frame measurements. The damaged vehicle is placed on a platform. It features two towers, which are upright posts, and a hydraulic ram. Clamps are mounted on the vehicle to hold it still, and chains connect the frame to the car. Using hydraulics, the towers pull the chains in precise ways to gently and slowly straighten the frame until it’s been restored back to factory specifications.

process

1. Assessment & Disassembly. The first step in the auto body repair process is determining the full extent of your vehicle’s damage. During this phase, the components of your car will be disassembled and examined so your auto body mechanic can give you the clearest picture of the damage and what must be done to mitigate it, as well as provide an estimate for the work.
‍
2. Repair. Once a repair plan has been made, your auto body mechanic will order any parts necessary and complete the repairs outlined on your estimate. This may include replacement or repairs of internal and external components of your car.
‍
3. Paint. After repairs have been completed, the exterior of your vehicle will receive auto body paint to repair cosmetic damage and seamlessly match any new components with the existing body of your car.
‍
4. Reassembly & Auto Detailing. Finally, your car is reassembled and all systems are checked to ensure repairs are complete and each system is functioning properly. Your car will be cleaned and any auto detailing needed is completed so you will receive your car from the auto body shop in beautiful and ready-to-drive condition.

Frame Repair F.A.Q.

What is a frame on a Car?

A vehicle frame, also known as its chassis, is the main supporting structure of a motor vehicle, to which all other components are attached, comparable to the skeleton of an organism.

Is a car considered totaled if the frame is bent?

Not necessarily, typically, cars are considered to be “totaled” when the cost to repair the vehicle is higher than the actual cash value (ACV) of the vehicle.

How to know if the frame is bent on a car?

To determine if your car frame is bent, you can check to see whether your doors are able to close smoothly, without additional force. In addition, you can measure the opening of each car door. If one or more door opening is smaller than the others, this is a sign of a bent frame.
