Numbers on paper
You see the measurements before and after. It is the plainest way to show the job was done right.

Frame Straightening in Sunnyvale Done by the Numbers
If the car pulls, the doors bind or the gaps look off, the frame may have moved. We find out for sure and put it right.

What a Bent Frame Really Means
Most cars today do not have a separate frame. They have a unibody, where the body is the structure. A solid hit can shift it just a little. That little bit matters. It can make tires wear fast, doors stick and the car drift. We put the car on a computerized measuring system. It shows exactly where each point sits compared to factory dimensions. Then we write down what needs pulling, and why, before we start.
What Frame Work Includes
Structural repair is careful work. Here is what goes into it, and each piece gets its own line on your estimate.
Computer measuring
Sensors read key points under the car. The system compares them to the maker's dimensions and shows where things moved.
A printout for you
You get a copy of the before measurements. You can see the problem with your own eyes, not just take our word for it.
Secure anchoring
The car is clamped down at strong points. That way the pull goes where we want it, and nowhere else.
Slow, steady pulls
We pull a little, then measure again. Small moves keep the metal from stretching or tearing.
Damaged sections replaced
Some parts are built to crush and cannot be pulled back. We cut them out and fit new ones the way the maker says to.
Welds sealed and protected
New welds get corrosion coating. That keeps the repair strong and stops rust down the road.
After measurements
When the pulls are done, we measure once more. You get that printout too, side by side with the first.
Wheel alignment check
Once the structure is right, we check alignment. That way the car drives straight and the tires wear evenly.
Three Steps to a Straight Car
- 01
Measure
We put the car on the bench and attach the sensors. The computer maps the structure point by point. We show you where it is off and by how much. Then you get the estimate, with each pull and part listed.
- 02
Pull and check
Chains and towers apply force in the right direction. We stop often to measure again. If a section cannot come back, we call you before we replace it. You are never surprised by a new charge.

Prove it
A final measurement shows the structure back in line. You get both printouts to keep. Then body, paint and alignment finish the job, each one on its own line. The car should drive like it did before the crash.
Why Drivers Trust Us With Their Frame
No rushing
Frame work is slow on purpose. We take our time, because a rushed pull can make things worse.
Talked through clearly
Structural repair can sound scary. We explain it in everyday words, and we answer every question.
