When a car is involved in a collision, the damage isn’t always limited to the exterior panels—the frame may also suffer significant impact. While many assume frame damage means a car is totaled, this isn’t necessarily true. Modern frame repair techniques allow vehicles with structural damage to be fully restored, making them safe and roadworthy again.
At Paint Lux Collision Center, we specialize in computerized frame repair, ensuring that your car’s structure is aligned to factory specifications. Our expert team inspects beyond the cosmetic damage, identifying hidden safety concerns to make sure your vehicle performs as intended after a collision.
Does Frame Damage Mean My Car Is Totaled?
One of the most common misconceptions about frame damage is that it automatically means a vehicle is a total loss. While extensive damage can sometimes lead to a vehicle being deemed unrepairable, modern frame straightening and repair technology allows many vehicles to be fully restored.
What determines if a car is totaled? It comes down to the cost of repair vs. the car’s market value. If repairs exceed the insurance threshold, the vehicle may be deemed a total loss—but even significant frame damage doesn’t always mean the car can’t be repaired safely.
✔ Precision Frame Straightening – Using advanced computerized systems, we realign your car’s frame with absolute accuracy, preserving drivability and safety. ✔ Manufacturer-Approved Techniques – Paint Lux follows OEM guidelines, ensuring that every structural correction meets factory specifications. ✔ Crash Protection Restored – A damaged frame can reduce impact absorption during another accident. Proper repairs restore structural integrity, keeping you safer on the road.
Beyond Cosmetic Damage: Hidden Structural Risks
Many drivers focus only on visible damage after an accident—such as dents, scratches, and broken headlights—but the true risks can often lie beneath the surface. A misaligned or weakened frame can lead to long-term safety issues, including:
🚗 Uneven tire wear & suspension damage – If the frame isn’t straight, alignment issues can cause excessive stress on wheels and suspension. 🚗 Doors, trunk & hood not closing properly – A bent frame can prevent doors from sealing correctly, creating safety hazards. 🚗 Reduced crash resistance – If the frame is compromised, it won’t absorb impact properly, increasing the risk of injury in future collisions.
That’s why at Paint Lux Collision Center, we never assume a car is fine just because cosmetic damage looks minor. Our frame inspection process ensures that every repair addresses structural integrity, safety, and performance.
