Automotive Frame Strengthening

Metro Collision Center in Los Angeles offers precision frame measuring, straightening, and reinforcement to meet OEM specs and restore safe drivability. We accept all insurance and manage the entire claim process so you don’t have to deal with adjusters or paperwork.

Your vehicle’s frame is its backbone — and if that backbone is bent, cracked, or weakened, it can compromise everything from your car’s handling to your safety in a crash. At Metro Collision Center, we specialize in automotive frame strengthening, ensuring that your vehicle’s structure is restored to its original strength — or made even stronger.

Whether you’ve been in a major collision, drive on rough terrain, or own a performance or modified vehicle, our frame strengthening service reinforces your car’s core, giving you better stability, safety, and peace of mind on the road.

⚠️ Shocking Truth: Driving with a Weakened Frame Is a Hidden Danger

Here’s what most drivers don’t know: even a small impact can affect your car’s frame. A low-speed rear-end collision or pothole hit might not show obvious signs — but could result in subtle structural misalignments that cause:

  • Uneven tire wear

  • Poor alignment

  • Increased body flex during braking

  • Panel gaps and rattling sounds

  • Compromised crash protection

  • A total loss declaration from insurance down the road

And here’s the kicker: many body shops don’t have the equipment or expertise to detect or repair hidden frame weakness. That’s where Metro Collision Center comes in.

🧠 Did You Know?

  • Over 60% of a vehicle’s crash safety rating depends on its frame integrity.

  • EVs like Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid rely heavily on aluminum and composite structures that require precise frame support during repairs.

  • Many modern vehicles use high-strength steel (HSS) and ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) that can’t be repaired using traditional welding — doing so can actually weaken the structure.

  • Insurance companies often declare cars “totaled” due to frame damage even when repairs are possible — with the right shop.

  • Reinforced frames can dramatically improve handling and reduce long-term wear in high-performance and off-road vehicles.
