Structural Integrity Restored Safely

Secure Frame and Chassis Repair in Albemarle

High-speed impacts and collisions along major corridors in Albemarle can cause deep structural damage that isn't always visible from the outside. Bent frames, misalignment, and undercarriage deformation compromise your vehicle's safety systems and long-term reliability, and you need repairs that follow factory specifications to restore proper function and protection.

Laton's Body Shop uses frame-machine technology and OEM standard operating procedures to bring your vehicle back to factory measurements and tolerances. Technicians inspect suspension, mounts, weld points, and body alignment to ensure every component functions as designed, especially after deer hits or side-impact collisions common in Albemarle.

Request an early inspection to prevent progressive structural damage and ensure your safety systems work correctly.

How Our Process Works

Frame and chassis repair begins with a full structural evaluation using precision measuring equipment to identify bent rails, twisted subframes, or misaligned mounting points. Every measurement is compared to OEM specifications to determine the extent of deformation and the best repair approach for your specific vehicle.

Repairs are performed using frame-machine technology that applies controlled force to pull, straighten, and realign damaged structural components. Laton's Body Shop follows OEM SOPs to match factory measurements and tolerances. Safety-system components such as airbags and crumple zones are inspected to ensure they function properly after repair.

Technicians also evaluate weld points, suspension mounts, and undercarriage areas for hidden damage that could affect handling or stability. This thorough approach ensures your vehicle is safe to drive and retains its structural integrity over time.

Details That Matter Most
