Chassis Straightening
in Cape Town
After a serious impact, the structure underneath matters most. We measure, straighten and check the frame before any cosmetic work begins.

Chassis Straightening
The Structure Under the Shine
A heavy knock can move a vehicle’s structure out of alignment, even when the outside damage looks modest. Signs include uneven panel gaps, doors that don’t close properly and tyres wearing unevenly.
We measure against the vehicle’s structural reference points, then straighten and re-check before moving on to panels and paint.

Chassis Straightening Questions
How do I know if my chassis is damaged?
Uneven panel gaps, doors that won’t close properly and changes in handling are common signs. An assessment will confirm it.
Can a bent chassis be repaired?
In many cases it can be measured and straightened. We’ll advise you honestly if a repair isn’t the right option.
Will I need a wheel alignment afterwards?
Usually, yes. Alignment should be checked after structural repairs.
