1. What is Frame Damage?
The frame (chassis) is the foundation of your car, supporting all mechanical and structural components. In an accident, impact forces can bend, twist, or misalign the frame, affecting stability and driving performance.
Common types of frame damage include:
✅ Sway Damage – Side impact causes misalignment, leading to poor handling.
✅ Twist Damage – The vehicle sits unevenly and may not drive straight.
✅ Mash Damage – A front or rear-end collision compresses the frame, making it shorter than normal.


2. Signs Your Car Has Frame Damage
Not all frame damage is visible. Look for these warning signs:
✔ Uneven tire wear – A bent frame can throw off wheel alignment.
✔ Car pulls to one side – If your steering is off, the frame could be misaligned.
✔ Difficulty closing doors or trunk – Warped frames prevent doors from sealing properly.
✔ Strange noises while driving – Creaking or rattling may indicate structural damage.

3. How Frame Damage is Repaired
Certified auto body shops use advanced frame straightening equipment and laser-guided technology to restore the original shape of the frame. The process includes:
🔧 Inspection & Damage Assessment – Technicians use digital measuring tools to detect misalignment.
🔧 Hydraulic Frame Straightening – Heavy-duty machines apply precise pressure to realign the frame.
🔧 Reinforcement & Welding – In severe cases, sections of the frame are reinforced or replaced.

4. Why You Should Never Ignore Frame Damage
🚨 Safety Risks – A weakened frame makes your car less protective in future collisions.
🚨 Poor Handling & Performance – A misaligned frame affects stability, braking, and overall control.
🚨 Lower Resale Value – Unrepaired frame damage significantly reduces your car’s market price.
