Frame Straightening & Unibody Repair

Frame repair runs from about $600 for a minor bend to $3,000 or more for heavy structural damage with panel replacement. The severity and your vehicle type drive the price, and most frame work runs through a collision claim. We measure first and give you a written estimate.

Signs of frame damage include uneven gaps between panels, a vehicle that pulls to one side, tires wearing unevenly, or doors that no longer close right. After any hard collision, the safest move is a measured inspection. We put it on the rack and check the structure against factory data.

Driving with a bent frame is risky. It throws off your alignment, wears tires and suspension, and can keep airbags and crumple zones from working in another crash. If you suspect frame damage, have it measured before you drive far. We can inspect it and tell you straight.

Older trucks and SUVs ride on a separate steel frame, which we pull straight with hydraulic equipment. Most modern cars use a unibody, where the body itself is the structure, so unibody repair means sectioning and welding panels back to spec. We handle both on the same rack.

A minor frame pull can be done in a couple of days. Heavier structural work with sectioning, welding, and panel replacement can run one to two weeks, depending on parts and insurance approval. You get a clear timeline once we measure the damage and write the estimate.

Most collision policies cover frame and structural repair, and we work with every major insurer. We document the damage, send measurements and photos to your adjuster, and handle supplements if we find more once the vehicle is on the rack. You choose the shop, not the insurer.
