Frame straightening is a critical part of major collision damage repair after a serious accident. When your vehicle's frame becomes bent or misaligned, it affects its structural integrity, your safety, and can compromise performance and resale value. Bring your vehicle to Wayne Val Autobody after a crash, so our skilled technicians can carefully assess the damage using advanced measuring equipment and identify misalignments, twists, or bends in your vehicle’s frame.
Expert Vehicle Frame Repair at Wayne Val Autobody
Bent frame repair starts with an assessment of frame damage, along with any other damage from a collision or as a result of driving on a bent frame. After our talented team uses the latest technology and attention to detail necessary for frame straightening, we will recommend other repairs or replacements. At Wayne Val Autobody, we pride ourselves on clear communication, honest estimates, and getting our clients back on the road safely.
Structural Vehicle Repair Assessment
We will determine if your vehicle has a twisted frame, which may cause it to lean in unusual directions or have gaps in body panels. Our well-trained technicians at Wayne Val Autobody will also assess any mash damage, which happens when the frame compresses, and sway damage, which is when the frame bends to the left or right.
Once we determine what type or types of frame damage you have, we will also determine if other damage may affect your car's performance.
Frame Realignment
Frame straightening takes the right tools, patience, and keen attention to detail, and at Wayne Val Autobody we offer all of that along with a strong focus on customer service. Our experienced team at Wayne Val Autobody will start by securing your vehicle to a frame rack and removing damaged parts.
We then use specialized hydraulic machines, clamps, and sometimes laser-guided tools to gradually return the frame to its original factory specifications using controlled pressure. This process ensures that your vehicle’s suspension, steering, and all body panels align correctly.
We continually monitor the progress of your vehicle's frame straightening and make any necessary adjustments. Before we proceed with any other work to make your vehicle road-safe, we do a final frame inspection and discuss any other issues we found during your vehicle frame repair.
Repairs or Replacements After Vehicle Frame Restoration
While doing post-collision frame repair, our knowledgeable technicians will also note other damage to your vehicle that makes it unsafe to drive or that could lead to much more expensive repairs down the road if you don't address them. Wayne Val Autobody is a full-service shop, so our respected technicians can also assess and repair components often associated with bent frames, such as:
- Panels, including the hood, roof, and trunk
- Suspension, such as shock absorbers and struts
- Brakes that aren't responding normally
- Electronics, such as wiring and sensors
- Tires damaged in a collision or unevenly worn due to a bent frame
- Windows and windshields
- Mechanical adjustments, such as recalibrating the steering system and wheel alignment
- Paint to match your current color
If you notice uneven wear on your tires, vehicle listing, rattling sounds, or vibrations, bring your vehicle to Wayne Val Autobody. We will determine if your issues are related to frame damage or if your frame is in good repair, but you need other repair services.
