Frame Straightening in Burbank

Structural Repair After a Collision

If your vehicle has structural damage after an accident, frame straightening may be part of the repair plan. Our Burbank team inspects the vehicle, measures the affected areas, and corrects frame or unibody damage with fit, alignment, and safety in mind.

Structural damage is not always obvious from the outside. A vehicle may need frame or unibody correction after a collision even when the visible damage looks limited. That is why careful inspection and measuring are important before the repair moves forward.

What Frame Straightening Means

Frame straightening is the process of measuring structural damage and correcting affected areas after a collision. In many modern vehicles, this may involve unibody correction. In others, it may involve more traditional frame alignment work.

The goal is to bring the damaged structure closer to factory dimensions so the rest of the collision repair, body repair, and paint work can be completed on a more accurate foundation.

Signs You May Need Frame Straightening

Some signs of structural damage are easy to notice, while others are less obvious. After an accident, it is smart to have the vehicle inspected if you notice any of the following:

• Vehicle pulls to one side while driving
• Uneven tire wear after an accident
• Doors, hood, or trunk do not close correctly
• Visible panel gap changes
• Crooked steering wheel when driving straight
• Visible structural, suspension, or underbody damage
• Vehicle does not sit or track the way it did before the collision
