Frame & Unibody Repair in Guttenberg, NJ
After a significant impact, a vehicle’s frame can bend even when the exterior appears intact. We straighten the frame and unibody to factory specifications on computerized measuring equipment.
How we straighten a frame back to spec
Measured on the bench. The car is anchored to a frame bench, and a computerized measuring system compares hundreds of points on the structure against the manufacturer’s original dimensions. That tells us exactly where the frame or unibody is out of spec, and by how much.
Pulled back to spec. We then apply controlled pulls to bring the structure back to factory tolerances, re-measuring as we go.
Torn metal replaced. Where metal is torn beyond straightening, damaged sections are replaced at approved locations and welded to the manufacturer’s method.
Measured again. A final measurement confirms the car is back in tolerance before any refinishing, and we recalibrate the safety sensors a structural repair affects.
