Frame & Unibody Repair in Columbus, OH and Surrounding Areas

The frame of your car or truck, also referred to as the unibody, is what holds much of the weight of the vehicle. The engine, transmission, and other mechanical components, as well as body pieces and the interior, are all supported by the frame. In around half of all car accidents the frame is damaged in some fashion. Since the frame is highly engineered to specific measurements any bends, dents, twists, or cracks that it suffers in a collision can cause serious safety and drivability issues in the short and long term, if the damage is not promptly and properly addressed.

What is the Frame/Unibody?

The unibody is essentially the sturdy shell of your vehicle. It is designed to support the heavy aspects of the vehicle while providing extensive protection to occupants inside. In many vehicles, the frame has built in crumple-zones that cause the car to crumple around the seating areas, which provide additional protection to the driver and passengers. It is important that the frame is restored to its factory specifications following an accident, as a bent or otherwise damaged frame can cause multiple issues for the vehicle. Not only could a hindered frame snap, but even minor damage can cause the vehicle to drift or be vulnerable to other driving issues.
