Frame Straightening in Baltimore
Not all collision damage is visible. Even a low-speed accident can knock your vehicle’s frame out of alignment, leading to poor handling, uneven tire wear, or worse. At General Collision Center, we offer professional frame straightening services using computerized measuring and alignment systems to restore your vehicle’s structural integrity.
If your vehicle’s frame or unibody has been bent, we’ll bring it back to factory specifications safely, accurately, and without unnecessary delays.
What Is Frame Damage?
Your vehicle’s frame is its foundation. It supports the engine, suspension, and body panels, and it’s designed to absorb impact during a collision. Damage to the frame can include:
- Misalignment from side or rear impacts
- Twisted or bent structural rails
- Buckling in the unibody structure
- Crushed crumple zones that no longer provide proper protection
Frame damage isn’t always obvious, which is why we inspect every vehicle thoroughly. In many cases, a car may still drive after an accident but suffer from a frame shift or weakened structure.
How Frame Straightening Works
We use a computerized measuring system to compare your vehicle’s frame to the manufacturer’s specifications. Once the damage is identified, your vehicle is mounted to a frame machine, which uses hydraulic pressure and precision clamps to straighten the affected areas.
This process allows us to restore your vehicle’s structural components to the correct shape, alignment, and strength, which is critical for everyday performance and safety in the event of a future accident.
Can Frame Damage Be Repaired?
In most cases, yes. Modern frame straightening equipment can safely correct moderate to severe misalignment, especially on vehicles with unibody construction. Our technicians follow manufacturer guidelines and will always let you know if the damage is too extensive to repair safely.
If panels, brackets, or components connected to the frame were affected, we can also repair or replace them as part of the same job. All repairs are performed with an emphasis on long-term durability and safety.
