Laser-measured precision back to OEM tolerances.

Frame & Unibody Straightening — Bronx, NY

Frame damage is the fear that lingers even after the bodywork looks fine — a car that pulls slightly to one side, tires wearing unevenly, a feeling that something underneath was never quite fixed right. You need proof it's been corrected to the exact factory measurement, not eyeballed.

Our Process

How we handle frame & unibody straightening

  1. 01

    Laser Measurement

    We put your vehicle on our laser measuring bench to compare every structural point against factory specifications.

  2. 02

    Damage Mapping

    The system pinpoints exactly which structural points are out of tolerance, down to fractions of a millimeter.

  3. 03

    Controlled Straightening

    Hydraulic pulling equipment corrects the frame or unibody in stages, rechecking measurements throughout.

  4. 04

    Structural Reinforcement

    Any compromised structural components are replaced with OEM parts rather than reinforced over damage.

  5. 05

    Final Measurement Verification

    We re-scan the full vehicle and provide before/after measurement printouts confirming factory spec.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Signs of frame or unibody damage include the car pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, doors that don't close flush, or a steering wheel that isn't centered when driving straight. Any of these after a collision — even a minor one — is worth a laser measurement check.
Not necessarily — many unibody and frame issues can be corrected to full factory tolerance using laser measuring and hydraulic straightening equipment, and it only becomes a total loss if the cost of correct repair exceeds the insurer's threshold relative to the car's value. We provide a detailed structural estimate so you and your insurer can make that call with real numbers.
Yes, though aluminum requires different equipment and technique than steel because it work-hardens and cracks differently under stress. We're equipped and trained specifically for aluminum-intensive platforms, increasingly common across modern luxury and EV models.
Structural repairs are typically noted on a vehicle history report if reported by the insurer or shop, regardless of how well the repair is performed. What matters most for resale and safety is that the repair was done to verified factory measurements — exactly what our printed reports document.
Frame and unibody straightening typically takes 3–7 business days depending on the severity and number of structural points affected. We provide a specific timeline after the initial laser measurement scan.
