Frame Repair

Restoring Structural Integrity

You may need frame repair if you notice:

Uneven tire wear or steering pulling to one side
Gaps between doors, hood, or trunk that are uneven
Visible wrinkles or kinks in the frame rails
Vehicle sits lower on one corner
After a collision (even minor fender benders can bend hidden frame horns)

How We Repair Frames at AWM (Step-by-Step Process)

Step 1: Computerized Measuring

We mount your car on a precision measuring system to compare current frame geometry against factory data. We identify bends as small as 2 millimeters.

Step 2: Hydraulic Straightening

Using a heavy-duty frame straightening machine (bench or floor-mounted), we apply controlled hydraulic pressure to gently pull the frame back into alignment.

Step 3: Dent Pulling with Newest Technology

Instead of old-school torch heating (which weakens metal), we use the newest dent pulling technology to ensure the longevity of our repairs. This cold-pulling method preserves the metal's tensile strength.

Step 4: Verification & Test Fit

After straightening, we re-measure everything. Then we test-fit body panels, doors, and hood to confirm perfect alignment.

Step 5: Corrosion Protection

We apply anti-rust coatings to any areas where paint or undercoating was disturbed.
