Frame Safety is Our Number One Concern

The frame of your vehicle is critical to your safety on the road. If your vehicle's structure has been compromised, it's time to call our team for an inspection or repair service.

When repairing or straightening your frame, your future safety is our number one concern. We remain aware of metal fatigue throughout the repair process and do everything we can to ensure your frame is stronger when it leaves our shop than when it came in. We hope you don't get in another accident, but you can be confident in your frame's integrity when you bring it to us for repairs.

We pride ourselves on providing our clients with quality work. Contact us today to see for yourself what quality means to us.

Our Frame Pulling Service

Frame pulling is the standard way of fixing dented or bent frames. To smooth out any dents or bends in your frame, we use a heavy-duty machine that clamps onto your frame and pulls it back into shape. While this may sound simple enough, this high-stakes procedure requires experience and training to get it right.

We carefully measure your frame to ensure your vehicle meets the factory standards of the make. Incorrectly pulling your frame could compromise its integrity, so we're cautious about changing its shape even slightly. We'll carefully restore your frame, using digital instruments to measure it along the way, so it maintains the required safety standards to keep you protected on the road.

Rusty Frame Repair

Rust is one of those issues that can wreak havoc on your car unless it's nipped in the bud early. Rust is an example of metal erosion, and if left unattended for too long, it will eat away at the structure of your frame and cause a hazard.

If you notice rust on your vehicle's frame, bring it into our shop at your earliest convenience. We'll blast the rust away and ensure the structure of your frame is intact. Are you concerned about the rust on your frame? Call us with any questions you have and an accurate assessment.

Frame Re-Alignment and Structural Repairs

Smaller frame damages can generally be fixed with re-alignments and structural repairs. Because the frame essentially functions as one piece, any minor damage often requires re-alignment. When re-aligning your frame, we pay close attention to how we're affecting your vehicle's overall structure. We'll digitally measure the precision of our re-alignment so that we know for certain that your vehicle is safe to drive again.

If your frame has structural damage that can be fixed with spot repairs, we're well-equipped to perform them with ease. However, your safety is our number one concern, so we're just as careful about a spot repair as we would be if it were a more significant repair.

If you'd like to learn more about how we ensure your vehicle's frame is safe to drive with once again, we'll be happy to discuss all the details with you. Give us a call at your convenience!

Book an Inspection for Frame Repair

To deliver you suitable services, we need to understand the state of your vehicle. When you contact our team, we'll schedule an inspection at your earliest convenience. On inspection day, our mechanics will survey the state of your vehicle and measure certain points of the chassis. Through various tests, we will identify if the frame has been damaged and the best way to fix it.

Once we understand the issues your vehicle is facing, we'll be pleased to provide you with a cost estimate and timeline before we begin repairs.

If you have questions about pricing, we invite you to call our team and chat with us today.

Understanding the Importance of Frame Repair and How it Works

Making sure that your frame is fixed in the aftermath of a collision is the only way to ensure your ongoing safety. Frame repair is conducted using an auto frame repair machine. The vehicle is bolted down to the device using a series of clamps and chains. The machine uses hydraulics and torque to shimmy the frame back into place. Our technicians have total control over the mechanisms at play to ensure that your vehicle is repaired with the utmost precision.

Once the alignment is completed, our team will ensure that no other damages have been overlooked before sending you back out on the road.

Trusted Equipment for Reliable Frame Repairs

Our team uses only state-of-the-art technology and trusted techniques when working on your vehicle. Collision repair isn't just our business, it's our passion, and ensuring that your car functions to the best of its ability is our ultimate goal.

When you choose to trust our team, you can ensure we pay the utmost attention to your vehicle and never overlook the small details. You can also rest assured that everyone working on our staff has extensive experience in the industry and will approach your repair with a breadth of knowledge.

Full-Service Auto Body Repair

Our certified technicians are adept at performing all types of auto body damage repair. We frequently work on vehicles with both unibody and body-on-frame structures—no matter what make or model of vehicle you own, you'll find the solution you need here.

Some examples of the repairs we regularly execute in-shop include:

  • Frame straightening
  • Frame welding
  • Dent and scratch removal
  • Auto body painting
  • Panel repair
  • And more

In many cases, we restore vehicles to pre-loss condition. Consider us your one-stop-shop for factory-specific frame repair.

Frame Straightening 

If your vehicle has been in a collision, the frame may have been warped and incurred significant damage. This can cause your vehicle to become unsafe to drive and will require immediate repair. Frame straightening is the best solution to restore your frame to its original condition. Frame straightening is a relatively simple procedure if the appropriate equipment is used. It involves using a great deal of force to bend the metal back into its initial form. This needs to be done by licensed technicians who have access to computerized tools that determine the most accurate and detailed alignment. They also have the capability to assess the degree of warping that took place, which helps them straighten your frame and ensure your vehicle’s safety.

Frame Welding 

Depending on the degree to which a frame is warped, the service it requires will differ. If our technician assesses your vehicle’s body and determines the damage is too severe to repair using the frame straightening method, they may suggest a frame welding service. This method involves welding cracked or damaged parts of the frame into newly restored pieces. If the welding is done correctly, the frame will have the same reliable integrity as an undamaged vehicle.

Dent and Scratch Removal

When your vehicle's frame is damaged, it will likely endure scratches and dents. If the scratches are minor, the only repairs that need to be done are quick paint touch-ups. A technician will use your vehicle's VIN to match the paint color as precisely as possible. They may also suggest airbrushing the scratch if they feel it's the better option.

Keep in mind that touch-up paint and airbrushing are only temporary solutions, and the paint will likely begin to chip within two years. As the vehicle owner, you may want to choose a full-repair paint service for a permanent solution that involves sanding, priming, filling, and repainting. Regardless of what our technician recommends as the most suitable option, they will explain to you the pros and cons of each method and leave the decision entirely up to you.

Panel Repair

When your vehicle panel is damaged due to a collision, you’ll have the option to repair it rather than replace it if the damages aren’t too extensive. The repair method varies based on the degree of the damage. If there are scratches but no dents to the panel, a sufficient repair method would be to sand it down and then repaint it while the panel is still attached to the vehicle. If the scratches to the metal are deep and it has received significant dents, the most appropriate repair method would be to remove the panel entirely and reshape it to its original form. Once it's reshaped, the scratched paint will be sanded down and repainted before the panel is placed back on the vehicle. In either case, the technician will go over the options with you and allow you to choose what works for you based on the value of your vehicle and your budget. 

TYPES OF FRAME DAMAGE WE REPAIR

If you’ve been in an automobile accident, there are many ways that your frame could’ve been damaged. The frame is an essential part of your vehicle’s integrity, offering stability, security, and weight support. When your vehicle's frame becomes damaged, even slightly, it becomes riskier to drive it.

Certain types of frame damage are especially dangerous for your vehicle. All these types of damage are important to fix and not impossible to repair. If you’ve been in an accident, you need a mechanic who can identify and fix the following damages:

Twisted Frame

If you’ve been in an auto collision, even a small one, there’s a chance that the impact will have bent or twisted your frame. Damage like this can be hard to spot because it’s often subtle, but it does leave some signs, including:

  • Uneven tire wear
  • Car out of alignment
  • Uneven shock and suspension wear
  • Unusual noises, such as creaking or squeaking when driving

We can find where your frame is twisted and have the tools to put it back into place.

Mash Damage

If you’ve experienced a collision that directly impacts the front or rear of your vehicle, your frame could have suffered mash damage. Like an accordion, a frame will crumple in on itself when impacted. This helps keep you safe in a collision but will cause a rippling effect of damage to the body.

Existing mash damage means your vehicle isn’t safe to drive and will often cause significant wear and damage to the rest of the car. You need to get any mash damage fixed as quickly as possible. We offer full-service mash repair and frame replacements to even out your body and ensure it’s safe to drive again.

Sway Damage

If your vehicle has been hit in the corner, the frame may now lean in a certain direction. This is called sway damage. Sway damage means your whole vehicle will be pulled out of alignment, and you won’t be able to drive it in a straight line. To avoid further damage to your transmission and tires, and to improve your safety behind the wheel, bring the vehicle to our shop for a sway damage repair job.

Invisible Frame Damage

After minor collisions, your vehicle may look in good shape. However, we highly recommend that you book a professional inspection, regardless of your car's outer appearance, as even low-impact accidents can cause misalignments that are invisible to the naked eye.

At our auto body garage, we boast specialized technology and equipment to analyze all components of a vehicle's frame. Using our high-performance machinery, we can pinpoint these invisible safety hazards, such as:

  • Gaps in-between body panels
  • Alignment issues
  • Crooked frame

A car is so much more than meets the eye. If you've been in a fender bender or another small-scale accident, don't take a chance—call in the experts for a professional inspection.

Insurance Claim Assistance

We are pleased to announce that our shop is an accredited repair facility, authorized to work with most major insurance companies. Our administrative staff is a wealth of knowledge and can help you navigate every aspect of the claims process from start to finish.

How Is Auto Frame Repair Completed?

Your car's frame can be damaged in a variety of ways. Twisted, mashed, or swayed frames can be fixed using specialized machinery that uses hydraulic force and torque to straighten the bent and misaligned areas of the frame carefully. If certain parts of the frame are deemed unrepairable, we can remove and replace them entirely.

There are many ways to repair your frame. It's crucial for the safety of you and your passengers that you do so as soon as a problem is suspected.

Our expert team uses only the industry's finest machinery when handling your frame repair, and you can trust us for comprehensive, reliable results.
