How We Can Help

Obviously, the extent of damage and frame type determine the frame repair process. Here are the three most common types of frame damage that we see that require our professional frame repair services:

Sway Damage

Sway damage is most common in accidents where a vehicle gets hit in the corner. When a vehicle suffers sway damage, it will frequently lean in one direction. Your vehicle will be unable to drive straight. If this is the case, you may notice vibrations in your steering wheel while driving.

Sagging / Twisted Frame

Gaps in the body of your truck’s frame are one of the first signs to look for if you notice your vehicle sagging. Because of uneven components in the construction of the frame, some vehicle sections frequently lean in the direction of the gaps. Vehicle components wear out faster over time due to these gaps.

Similarly, a twisted frame can cause the same damage, but it is more difficult to detect in most vehicles. Typically, a thorough inspection is required to determine the source of the needed repairs.

Mashed Frame

Finally, mashed frames are common in accidents where a vehicle is hit head-on or rear-ended. A mashed frame indicates that the collision caused the frame to crumple itself. Distortions or wrinkles in the vehicle’s hood, fenders, or frame horns may exist. A smashed frame can also cause automotive damage by extending to other parts of the vehicle and causing severe wear and tear on other vehicle components.
