Frame & Unibody Repair
Frame & Unibody Repair in Royal Oak, MI
Our unibody frame rack and laser measuring system bring your vehicle’s structure back to proper specifications for safe handling and a proper fit.
Structural Repair
Your Car’s Structure Matters Most
Most modern cars and crossovers are built with unibody construction, where the body and frame are one structure. In a collision, that structure is designed to absorb energy. Afterward, even a small shift can affect how the car drives, how panels line up, and how it protects you in a future accident.
At B&B Collision, vehicles with structural damage go on our unibody frame rack. A laser measuring system checks key points against specifications so we can pull the structure back where it belongs and confirm it before body and paint work begins.
