Frame Repair
Vehicle Frame and Structural Repair
Your vehicle’s frame or unibody structure provides the foundation for proper alignment, handling, panel fit, and crash protection. Even a collision that appears minor can cause structural movement that is difficult to identify without a detailed inspection.
Lakewood Collision LLC provides frame and structural repair for vehicles affected by accident damage. We inspect key structural areas, measure vehicle geometry, and identify components that require straightening, repair, or replacement.
Correcting structural damage helps restore proper panel alignment and allows suspension, body, and safety components to operate from their intended mounting positions.
Signs of Possible Frame Damage
Uneven or unusually wide panel gaps
Doors, hood, or trunk that no longer close properly
Vehicle pulling to one side
Uneven tire wear after a collision
Visible bending underneath the vehicle
Steering wheel no longer centered
Cracks, folds, or deformation near structural points
Our Process
Initial collision and structural inspection

Structural repairs should not be based on appearance alone. Our repair process focuses on restoring the correct relationship between the vehicle’s structural points and attached components.
