“I went in there with uncertainty and walked out with a fixed truck and a preferred body shop. They treated me like family.”
Juan, RAM owner“… Went above and beyond even after they finished, they made sure to address my concerns.”
Tiaira, Nissan owner
What we do
- Frame repair after a collision
- Panel replacement when a panel can’t be saved: doors, fenders, hoods, quarter panels
- Panel alignment, so doors, hood and trunk line up and close right
Signs the damage goes deeper
Most cars today are built unibody: the body and the frame are one structure, so a hard hit can shift more than the panel it landed on. Things that point to it:
- A door, hood or trunk that doesn’t close the way it used to
- Gaps between panels that are wider on one side than the other
- A panel that sits higher or lower than the one next to it
- Damage at a corner of the car, where the structure takes the hit
If you notice any of these after an accident, have it looked at before the rest of the repair is done.
Safety first
We look for the damage you can’t see from the outside, so the repair takes care of that damage too, not only what shows. You should feel safe getting back in your car. See collision repair for how the whole repair works.
Insurance or out of pocket
Bigger repairs usually go through insurance. We work with every company and help you through the claim. Every repair comes with our lifetime warranty, good for as long as you own the car. The way we put it: we don’t warranty the vehicle, we warranty you.
Quick answers
Can a car with frame damage be fixed?
Often, yes. It depends on how bad the damage is. We’ll inspect it and tell you honestly.
Why don’t my doors line up after an accident?
Panels or the structure behind them may have shifted. Panel alignment or frame repair puts them back so they fit and close properly.
Does frame damage mean my car is totaled?
Not necessarily. Whether a car is totaled is the insurance company’s call, based on the repair cost against the car’s value. Plenty of cars with frame damage are repaired.
