Protecting Safety From the Inside Out
Chassis damage can occur from major collisions, off-road impacts, kerb strikes or repeated stress from towing, potholes or heavy loads over time. Even minor accidents can cause hidden structural issues that affect how your vehicle drives and how safe it is in future impacts. If left unrepaired, chassis problems can lead to uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side, noisy suspension, handling issues and compromised crash protection. That’s why a thorough inspection is essential after any impact.
We start with a full structural assessment using digital measuring systems to pinpoint damage, then use hydraulic presses and pulling towers to realign the frame with precision. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and provide honest advice on whether straightening is suitable or if structural parts need replacing. Every repair is completed with a focus on safety, performance and long-term reliability, so you can drive with confidence again.
FAQ
How do I know if my chassis is damaged?
Common signs include uneven tyre wear, pulling to one side while driving, visible frame distortion, unusual noises from the suspension and doors or panels not closing properly. After a major impact or crash, even if the damage doesn’t look serious, it’s a good idea to have your chassis checked by a professional. Modern vehicles are designed to absorb shock through the frame, so internal damage isn’t always visible.
Is chassis straightening safe for my car?
Yes, when done by trained technicians using the correct equipment, chassis straightening is a safe and reliable way to restore your vehicle’s structural integrity. The process involves realigning the frame back to its original dimensions using approved methods and safety standards. This ensures your vehicle handles correctly and remains safe to drive in the future.
Can chassis damage affect my wheel alignment?
Absolutely. If the chassis is bent or twisted, it can throw off your vehicle’s wheel alignment, causing steering issues, tyre wear and poor handling. Even if you get a wheel alignment done, it may not hold if the frame isn’t corrected. That’s why proper chassis inspection and straightening is essential after an accident or impact.
