Beyond the Dents and Dings: Why Frame Measuring Tools You Can’t See Are a Must for the Perfect Auto Body Repair
It isn’t always as simple as it looks when a car gets into an accident. What may appear to be a small dent or a minor scratch can often cover up significant structural damage. At our shop, we use state-of-the-art tools like the Car-O-Liner 18’ Bench-rack coupled with an Electronic Frame Measurement system to detect and repair the damage that is not easily visible.
The consequences of the collisions which are not always visible
A lot of people believe that if the damage is minor, they can continue to use their car. Nevertheless, a moderate rear impact can alter the car’s frame. The frame is the structural element of the vehicle, and any deformation of it will lead to poor handling, accelerated tire wear, and increased risk of injury in case of an accident in the future.
How Our New Technology Works
At Alliance Repairs, we do not depend on visual assessments. Our Electronic Frame Measurement device provides a precise scan of the vehicle’s structure. It can reveal even the smallest movements or deformations in the frame that may go undetected to the human eye. Once we know the exact damage, we use the Car-O-Liner 18’ Bench-rack to straighten the frame to its factory settings. This guarantees that the vehicle not only looks good as new but is also fit to use on the road once more.
BMW X5 2022: A Real Life Example
A few weeks ago, a 2022 BMW X5 came to our shop with rear-end collision damage. At first, the damage did not seem to be too severe, but our frame measurement tool revealed misalignments that could have potentially caused more problems on the road in the future. Due to our high-tech equipment, we were able to restore the BMW’s frame to its factory shape and make sure that it was just as safe as it was the day it left the production line.
