Frame damage is one of the most common consequences of more serious car accidents. Since your vehicle’s frame outlines and supports the structure of the machine, it’s essential to make sure that it is in sound overall condition so as not to compromise the structural integrity of your vehicle. Driving with a damaged or cracked frame can drastically decrease the safety of your vehicle; therefore it’s vital to seek an auto body frame repair service immediately if you suspect that your car’s frame may be damaged. Not only that, but chances are if your frame is damaged then the damage is visible from the outside, and nobody likes to drive around in a vehicle that looks smashed up.

Safety Concerns Regarding Your Auto Frame
One of the most crucial factors to consider when committing to an auto frame repair is your safety as a driver. Think of it this way: the frame provides the primary structure and support for your vehicle and plays a particularly important role in protecting you during a collision by resisting the impact of the crash. Would you feel safe knowing that this protective component is bent, cracked, or damaged in any way? Of course not!
This is one of the many reasons that our technicians take the job of vehicle frame repair so seriously. While having a frame that looks nice and dent-free is definitely important, we take the structural integrity of the vehicle and safety of our clients into account as the first priority.
Nobody jumps out of their seat to buy a used product with visible damage, and this logic applies strongly to the reselling of your vehicle. If you’re like the average car owner, you plan to enjoy driving your vehicle for several years, but eventually will make a choice to upgrade, and sell or trade your older car to finance the purchase of a newer one.
Where this gets tricky is any situation in which you have to decide between investing in repairing a vehicle with a damaged frame versus selling it as is. Depending on the severity of the frame damage, the repair cost can often be offset by the higher resale value that you gain from not leaving your vehicle in a damaged state.
Always consult with a trusted professional before committing to a more extensive auto frame repair job but be sure to consider if the increased resale value of your vehicle might be a game-changer for your decision-making progress. Our trusted auto techs at Desoto Collision have had years of experience dealing with vehicle frame repairs and mediating between insurance companies and clients for the repair cost, so you can rest easy if you trust us with your auto frame repair.
