Whether you've had a minor fender bender or a serious highway collision, one of the most essential parts that need to be repaired is your vehicle's frame. The importance of frame repair is further explained below. When you need frame repair in Reseda following a collision, call Carbon Collision Center to get your car or truck back in pre-accident condition. 

What Is Frame Repair?
The frame serves as the skeleton of the vehicle, supporting everything from the body to the engine and everything in between. After an accident, frame damage can affect other parts of the vehicle, making frame repair vital to its safety and structural integrity. During the repair process at Carbon Collision Center, we employ sophisticated frame-measuring equipment to identify the exact fixes your frame requires, then mold it back to its previous shape. This corrects both the frame and any aesthetic issues caused by the accident.

Can You Put Off Frame Repair?
Aerodynamics, balance, alignment, and overall safety were all factors considered when designing your vehicle. In the event of a collision, the frame is designed with "crumple zones" that allow the frame to give way in a controlled manner, protecting the occupants to the maximum extent possible. Anything can go wrong if your car's frame is damaged in an accident. The balance and alignment of your car can be thrown off, making it more prone to drifting or causing uneven tire wear. More seriously, if the frame is not restored to the manufacturer's specifications, it may not protect you in the event of another collision and can become increasingly damaged at any time.

Frame Repair in Reseda
Many mid and full-size trucks and SUVs use body-on-frame construction, where the body of the vehicle sits on a rigid frame. Carbon Collision Center uses the latest computer-assisted frame straightening technology that allows our collision techs to repair automotive frames to factory specs. This is a critical component of collision repair, as the frame is what carries the weight of the engine, transmission, body, and other car components. If the frame is damaged in an accident, it is integral that it is properly repaired or else the vehicle could be at risk of being involved in another accident due to improper operational conditions.
