Frame Straightening
Service Overview
A bent or misaligned frame can compromise your vehicle’s safety, performance, and even resale value. Our Frame Straightening service ensures your car’s structural integrity is fully restored using computerized frame measurement and precision straightening equipment. Whether it’s from a collision or unseen impact damage, we realign your frame to factory specifications.
Why Frame Straightening Matters
Signs You May Need Frame Straightening
- A vehicle’s frame is its backbone. Misalignment—even if not obvious—can impair safety systems, cause uneven tire wear, and degrade handling performance. Restoring the frame ensures:
- Accurate alignment — improves handling and reduces additional wear.
- Enhanced crash safety — preserves crumple zones and rescue systems.
- Extended vehicle longevity — reduces stress on drivetrain and suspension components.
- Preserved resale value — properly repaired vehicles retain better value.
Signs You May Need Frame Straightening
Even minor accidents can result in structural misalignment. Watch for:
- Gaps between doors or misaligned body panels
- Pulling to one side, persistent alignment issues
- Uneven tire wear profiles
- Noticeable “soft” steering or odd noises over bumps
