Frame Straightening & Alignment at NewGen Auto Repair
Signs of frame damage include the car pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, doors that don't close flush and gaps that look different side to side. You usually can't confirm it by looking — it has to be measured.
We measure the vehicle against the manufacturer's dimensions, straighten what is out of spec and measure again. Frame repair from a covered collision is normally part of your insurance claim, and we document every step for the adjuster.
What's included
- Computerized measuring against factory dimensions
- Frame rail and unibody straightening
- Suspension geometry check
- Four-wheel alignment
- Door, hood and trunk gap check
- Before and after measurement printout

Frame & Alignment FAQ
Is frame straightening covered by insurance?
In most cases, yes, when the damage comes from a covered collision. We document the measurements and submit them with the estimate.
Is a car with frame damage safe after repair?
When the structure is measured and returned to factory specifications, yes. If a part should be replaced rather than straightened, we follow the manufacturer's repair procedure.

*Deductible assistance of up to $1,000 is available only on insurance claims where your insurance company has approved a repair amount of $8,000 or more and the repair is performed in accordance with that insurer-approved estimate (California Penal Code § 551(b)). We never increase a repair estimate to cover a deductible. Not available on customer-pay repairs. Ask us for details before your repair begins.
**Free computer diagnostic scan: we read and explain your vehicle's trouble codes at no charge, no purchase required. If the problem needs in-depth testing (labor), we give you a written estimate and get your approval before any paid work, as California law requires.
†Warranty: limited lifetime warranty on our collision, body and paint workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle; 24 months / 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) on mechanical repairs, parts and labor. Not covered: normal wear, new damage, abuse or neglect, rust or chips from road debris, and customer-supplied parts. Warranty terms are written on your invoice.
‡Accident towing: you pay nothing out of pocket when you have collision coverage or the other driver is at fault — we pay the tow and bill the insurance company. If no insurance covers the tow, we tell you the price before the truck is sent.
