PRECISION FRAME STRAIGHTENING & STRUCTURAL REPAIR

A bent or misaligned frame affects everything — steering, suspension, tire wear, door alignment, and most importantly, your safety in another collision. Quality Auto Body uses professional-grade frame straightening equipment and computerized measuring systems to pull your vehicle’s frame back to exact factory specifications. We measure every reference point against manufacturer data to make sure the structural integrity of your vehicle is fully restored, not just close enough. This is critical work, and we don’t cut corners on it.

UNIBODY & FULL-FRAME VEHICLE REPAIR

Modern vehicles use two main structural designs: unibody construction where the body and frame are integrated, and body-on-frame where a separate frame supports the body. Each requires a different repair approach. Our technicians are experienced with both and understand the structural engineering behind each design. Whether you drive a unibody sedan, crossover, or SUV, or a full-frame truck, we have the equipment and the expertise to restore the structural geometry your vehicle needs to drive straight, handle correctly, and protect you in a future impact.

SUSPENSION & ALIGNMENT AFTER COLLISION DAMAGE

Frame damage almost always comes with suspension and alignment issues. A hard impact can bend control arms, damage struts, knock wheels out of alignment, and shift subframe mounting points. We inspect the full suspension system as part of every frame repair and replace any components that are bent, cracked, or compromised. After the frame is straightened and the suspension is rebuilt, we run a full four-wheel alignment on our Hunter alignment system to make sure everything tracks straight and true. You shouldn’t feel the accident when you drive away.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know if my vehicle has frame damage?

Signs include the vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, doors that don’t close properly, visible gaps between panels, and unusual noises while driving. After a collision, we recommend a professional frame inspection even if the damage looks cosmetic.

Is frame damage repairable or is my car totaled?

Many frame damage situations are fully repairable with the right equipment. We use computerized measuring and hydraulic straightening to restore frames to factory spec. Whether it’s repairable depends on the severity — we’ll give you an honest assessment.

What equipment do you use for frame repair?

We use computerized frame measuring systems that check every reference point against manufacturer data, professional hydraulic pulling equipment for straightening, and a Hunter alignment system for final wheel alignment.

Is my vehicle safe to drive with frame damage?

No. Frame damage affects steering, suspension, tire wear, and your vehicle’s ability to protect you in another collision. Crumple zones won’t function correctly if the frame geometry is off. Get it inspected and repaired before driving.

Does insurance cover frame repair?

Yes, frame repair from a collision is covered under your collision or the other driver’s liability policy. We work with all insurance carriers and handle the claims process, including supplements for hidden structural damage found during disassembly.
