Certified Car Frame and Unibody Repair
Most modern cars are unibody, where the frame and body are one welded structure, while many trucks and larger SUVs use a separate full frame. We repair both, using computerized measuring and a dedicated frame machine to bring the structure back to factory specification.
Our Structural Repair Services
1.Frame Straightening
We anchor your vehicle to a frame machine and use precise hydraulic pulls to straighten the frame back to factory specifications.
2.Unibody Repair
For unibody vehicles, we repair and realign the welded structure, and replace sections to OEM standards where required.
3.Chassis Straightening & Measuring
Computerized measuring compares your chassis to factory data at every reference point, so alignment is verified, not guessed.
Signs Your Car May Have Frame Damage
After a collision, some structural damage is not obvious. Watch for these warning signs:
Uneven panel gaps, or doors and the hood that no longer line up or close cleanly.
The car pulls to one side, or the steering wheel sits off-center when driving straight.
Uneven or unusually fast tire wear.
Visible bends, cracks, or wrinkles in the frame rails or structural metal.
New noises, vibration, or a rough ride after an accident.
If you notice any of these after a collision, have the frame inspected before you keep driving.
Why Proper Frame Repair Matters for Your Safety
Your frame and unibody are engineered with crumple zones that absorb energy in a crash. If they are not restored to exact specifications, your car may not protect you the way it was designed to, and problems like poor handling, uneven tire wear, and misaligned safety sensors can follow. We measure to factory data and document every step, so your vehicle is safe and sound, verified against the manufacturer's specs rather than judged by eye.

How Our Frame Repair Process Works
Computerized Measuring
We scan your vehicle and compare it to factory specifications to map exactly where the structure is out of tolerance.
Anchor and Pull to Spec
Your car is anchored to our frame machine, and we make precise hydraulic pulls to bring the frame or unibody back to factory dimensions.
Re-measure and Verify
We measure again to confirm every reference point matches OEM data, and we document the results.
Reassemble, Refinish, and Warranty
Once the structure is verified, we complete the repair and refinishing, then back the work with our lifetime warranty.
