Frame Straightening and Repair in Dalton, GA

What Is Frame Straightening and Repair?

The frame is the backbone of your vehicle. On most modern cars it is built into the body itself, and the doors, suspension and engine all mount to it. A hard hit can bend it, and once it moves, the rest of the vehicle no longer sits where it was designed to.

Frame repair brings that structure back into shape. At Car-Aid Collision Center, we measure the frame, straighten it, weld or replace damaged sections, and repair the suspension parts that attach to it. Our goal is a vehicle repaired to its pre-accident condition.

Why Frame Straightening and Repair Matters in Dalton, GA

Frame damage can compromise the functionality of many of a vehicle's components. A bent frame changes the angles of the wheels, so the car pulls and wears its tires. It can also stop doors from sealing and leave panels that never line up.

Most of all, the frame decides how the vehicle protects you in a crash. A frame that is still bent will not absorb the next impact the way it should. Our job is to make sure the frame is safe and structurally sound for you and your passengers.

When Should You Consider Frame Straightening and Repair in Dalton, GA

Have the frame checked after any accident that bent a wheel, pushed in a corner of the car or set off an airbag. It is also worth a check after a hard curb strike or a deep pothole. Frame damage is often hidden behind panels that look fine.

Watch for the signs it leaves behind. The car pulls even after an alignment, a tire wears on one edge, or a door closes harder than it did. Any of these after an impact is a reason to call (706) 529-8213.

What We Check During Frame Straightening and Repair

Every frame repair at our Dalton shop covers:

• Frame Measuring: the structure measured to find where it moved and how far.
• Frame Straightening: the frame pulled back into its proper shape.
• Frame Welding: damaged sections welded and repaired.
• Frame Replacement: sections that cannot be saved replaced.
• Suspension Repair: damaged suspension parts repaired so they function properly.

Frame Welding and Suspension Repair

Some frame damage cannot be pulled out. A torn or kinked section has to be cut, welded or replaced. Our technicians are skilled in welding and can repair damaged areas of the frame.

The suspension attaches to the frame, so it often takes the same hit. Control arms, struts and other parts can bend along with the frame. We repair any damage to the suspension to make sure it is functioning properly before the vehicle leaves.
