Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car's frame is bent after an accident?
Signs of a bent frame include uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, doors or panels that don't align properly, and visible gaps in the body. Our technicians can inspect and diagnose frame damage accurately.
Can a bent frame be repaired, or does it total the car?
Many frame issues can be straightened and welded back to factory specifications. In cases of severe structural damage, we'll let you know honestly if repair isn't safe or cost-effective.
What mechanical repairs do you provide besides frame work?
Along with frame straightening and welding, we handle mechanical repairs including radiators, water pumps, transmissions, exhaust systems, brakes, and electrical and diagnostic work.
Is frame straightening safe for older or classic vehicles?
Our I-CAR certified technicians use precision equipment to safely realign frames on a wide range of vehicles, and we'll advise you on the safest repair approach for your specific car.
How long does frame repair typically take?
Frame repair timelines vary based on the severity of the damage, but most jobs take several days to a couple of weeks. We'll provide a clear timeline after our initial inspection.
