Structural Collision Repair
When a frame or unibody is damaged, precision is everything. We restore your vehicle's structure to factory specification — measured, not guessed.
Restoring Your Vehicle's Structure
Your vehicle's structure absorbs and directs crash energy to protect you. After a significant collision, that structure must be restored to exact factory dimensions.
We use computerized measuring systems and frame-straightening equipment, and follow manufacturer sectioning and joining procedures, so crumple zones and crash performance are fully restored — then verified with ADAS calibration where required.
Computer-Measured Precision
We measure your vehicle's structure against factory specifications before, during, and after repair — so the finished result is correct down to the millimeter.
- Computerized 3D measuring
