Can Frame Damage Be Fixed?

Absolutely! Contrary to popular belief, frame damage can be repaired by an auto body shop with skilled technicians. Repair is done using specialized framing machines, which can return as close to factory specifications. These machines use hydraulic pressure and torque to straighten bent parts of your frame.

How much does it cost to fix frame damage?

Estimates vary based on the severity of the damage in question, but full frame straightening usually costs between $500 and $750 plus repairs to other areas of the vehicle. This process is highly situational – your best bet is to ask a body shop to evaluate the vehicle before you plan on having frame work performed.
