Understanding Frame Straightening: Restoring Your Vehicle’s Backbone

Your car’s frame is its backbone, providing essential structure and support for safety and performance. After a collision or damage, frame straightening—or chassis repair—restores the frame to its original shape, ensuring your vehicle remains safe and reliable.

When a frame is damaged, it can compromise your car’s integrity, leading to safety risks and performance issues. Early detection is key to preventing further problems and ensuring a smooth, safe driving experience.

Assessment

Our technicians begin with a thorough inspection, checking for visible damage, using alignment machines to assess wheel and suspension alignment, and comparing the frame to factory standards to pinpoint issues.

Preparation for Repairs

If frame repairs are needed, damaged components such as body panels or suspension elements are removed, and the frame is prepped for straightening.

Straightening the Frame

Your vehicle is securely positioned on a specialized frame rack. Chains are attached to the damaged areas, and hydraulic equipment applies precise pressure to restore the frame to its original shape.

Reassembly and Alignment

Once straightened, we reassemble the removed parts and address any suspension or alignment needs, ensuring your vehicle looks and drives like new.
