Your frame bears the weight of all of your vehicle’s extremely heavy components. In the event that a collision causes frame damage, then your vehicle may no longer be safe to drive, even if the damage doesn’t seem significant. After an accident, your frame should be closely examined by an experienced auto body technician to determine the proper course of action. At Friendly Auto Body & Towing, we provide expert automotive frame repair in the greater Hartford, CT area. Here’s a look at some of the frequently asked questions about frame repair.

How does frame damage make a vehicle dangerous to drive?

If your frame is bent or damaged, then there’s a heightened risk of it snapping, which could result in a major accident. And if your frame has any pre-existing damage and you get into a wreck, then you won’t be as strongly protected, increasing the chances of a serious injury occurring. A bent frame can also increase your accident risk because the uneven weight distribution can cause poor handling.

How is frame repair completed?

At our Hartford body shop, we’ve invested in top-quality computer-assisted frame straightening technology. This technology, combined with the use of extreme force to push/pull the frame, makes it much easier for us to return the frame to its factory specifications. 

How often do car accidents cause frame damage?

In about half of all car accidents, some degree of frame damage occurs. In some cases, the wreck seems relatively minor, but the frame has still suffered damage that needs to be addressed at the body shop to ensure that the vehicle is safely drivable.
