Frame Straightening in Carrollton, TX
Frame straightening restores your vehicle's chassis or unibody to exact factory dimensions after a collision. Westway Collision Center in Carrollton, TX uses a computerized frame machine with laser measuring to pull damage to within millimeters of OEM specification — the foundation every safe, proper repair is built on.
How do I know if my frame is bent?
Common signs are uneven panel gaps, doors that won't close flush, crooked steering, uneven tire wear, or a car that pulls to one side after an impact.
Many frame and unibody issues are invisible to the eye — a few millimeters of shift changes how the car drives and how it protects you in a second accident. That is why every structural repair at Westway starts with a full computerized measurement printout of your chassis, compared point-by-point against factory data. You see the before and after numbers yourself.
Does insurance cover frame straightening?
Yes — frame and unibody straightening is a standard part of a covered collision claim, and we bill it directly to your carrier.
Insurers sometimes push to total a vehicle with structural damage. A precise measurement report changes that conversation: when the damage is repairable to factory tolerance, we document it and advocate for the proper repair. We handle the supplement process so structural work is approved and paid as part of your claim.
Can a bent frame actually be fixed, or is the car never the same?
On a computerized frame machine, chassis and unibody damage can be restored to factory specification — verified with printed measurements, not guesswork.
The old reputation of 'once bent, never right' comes from shops pulling frames by eye. Our bench anchors the vehicle at factory datum points and applies controlled hydraulic pressure while lasers track every reference point in real time. When we hand you the after-printout showing OEM tolerances, the structure is measurably correct — and backed by our lifetime warranty.

Frame Straightening FAQs
Body-on-frame vehicles have a separate ladder frame; unibody vehicles integrate the structure into the body shell. We repair both — most modern cars and exotics are unibody or bonded-aluminum structures.
