When your vehicle suffers structural damage from a collision, the frame is often compromised, affecting safety, alignment, and overall performance. At Autobahn Collision, we specialize in professional frame straightening services in New York City, restoring your vehicle’s structural integrity to factory specifications.
What is Frame Straightening?
Frame straightening is a precision repair process that corrects structural damage to your vehicle’s frame or unibody. Using advanced computerized measuring systems and hydraulic equipment, our certified technicians carefully restore bent, twisted, or misaligned frames to their original dimensions, ensuring your vehicle is safe to drive.
Why Frame Straightening is Critical
A damaged frame isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it’s a serious safety concern that can lead to:
- Compromised Safety: A weakened frame provides less protection in future collisions
- Alignment Problems: Uneven tire wear, poor handling, and steering difficulties
- Decreased Vehicle Value: Unrepaired structural damage significantly reduces resale value
- Failed Inspections: Frame damage can prevent your vehicle from passing safety inspections
- Mechanical Issues: Stress on suspension, drivetrain, and other critical components
Even minor collisions can cause hidden frame damage that worsens over time if left untreated.
