Frame Straightening in Glendale, CA
Frame straightening is the structural repair process that returns a vehicle's frame or unibody to its original factory dimensions after a collision. Prime Time Collision Center in Glendale uses computerized measuring equipment to identify and correct frame damage, restoring proper alignment so your vehicle drives straight and protects you in a future crash.
About Frame Straightening
A bent frame affects far more than appearance. It impacts handling, tire wear, safety-system performance, and how your vehicle protects you in another collision. That's why frame work must be done precisely.
Prime Time Collision Center uses computerized frame-measuring equipment to compare your vehicle against factory specifications, then straightens the structure back to those exact dimensions. This restores proper alignment and structural integrity.
If you've been in a significant accident, structural damage isn't always visible. Our free inspection and estimate will tell you whether frame repair is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car frame is bent?
Signs of a bent frame include uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side, visible gaps between panels, doors that don't close properly, or a vehicle that doesn't track straight. After a significant collision, the only reliable way to know is a computerized frame measurement, which we offer as part of a free inspection.
Can a bent frame be repaired safely?
In many cases, yes. Using computerized measuring and straightening equipment, we can return the frame to factory dimensions and restore structural integrity. If the damage is too severe to repair safely, we'll tell you honestly so you can make an informed decision with your insurer.
Is it safe to drive with frame damage?
It's not recommended. Frame damage can affect handling, braking, and how the vehicle protects you in another crash. If your vehicle isn't safe to drive, our free 24/7 towing can bring it to our Glendale shop for inspection.
