Frame Work in Houston, TX

Every other stage of an auto body repair sits on top of this one. Get the structure right and the panels line up, the doors shut properly, the glass seals, and the paint has a flat surface to sit on. Get it wrong and every later stage is a workaround.

Measured, not judged

We use computerized laser measuring to compare reference points across your vehicle against the manufacturer's published tolerances. Readings are taken before the pull begins and confirmed after, so there is a record showing the structure went back where the automaker specified rather than somewhere approximately close.

The tolerances involved are a few millimeters. Nobody can see that, which is exactly why the measuring equipment exists.

Unibody and full frame both

A truck with a separate ladder frame and a car whose shell is the structure behave completely differently under load and come off different procedures. Houston being a truck city, we see plenty of both, and we set the vehicle up for whichever it is.

The symptoms that bring people in

A pull to one side after a wreck. A door that closes differently than it used to. Uneven gaps along a hood. A tire wearing on one edge. A vibration that started after an accident and was not there before. Any of those means something moved, and none of them fix themselves.

Alignment afterward

Suspension mounting points live on the structure, so once it moves, the geometry has moved with it. Wheel alignment is part of finishing a structural repair here, not an afterthought.
