Can you repair aluminum frames and bodies?

Yes. Our Ford & Lincoln certified facilities are equipped for high-strength aluminum body and frame repair, including F-150 and other aluminum-intensive vehicles, using OEM-approved welding and riveting procedures.

How do you verify the frame is straight?

We use laser ultrasonic 3D measuring that compares your vehicle's structural points against factory blueprints to millimeter accuracy, and document a structural integrity certification before delivery.

Laser-guided structural alignment within millimeter tolerances

Auto Frame & Unibody Straightening

Frame and unibody straightening is the structural foundation of safe collision repair. Our Car-O-Liner computerized frame benches use laser ultrasonic measuring to pull high-strength steel and aluminum structural members back to exact factory dimensional tolerances. This ensures your vehicle's crumple zones, airbag deployment geometry, and structural integrity perform exactly as the manufacturer designed in any future collision.

The Process

How Our Frame Straightening Works

A transparent, step-by-step workflow backed by our lifetime warranty.

3D Baseline Measurement

Laser ultrasonic sensors map your vehicle's frame against factory blueprints to pinpoint every deviation down to the millimeter.

Anchoring & Setup

The vehicle is anchored to the frame bench at designated OEM mounting points to allow controlled, multi-directional pulling without secondary damage.

Controlled Pulling

Hydraulic rams apply measured force to progressively realign structural members, with live measurement feedback confirming movement toward factory specs.

Verification & Certification

A final 3D scan confirms all structural points fall within OEM tolerances, and we document the structural integrity certification for your records.
