QuestionIf the frame is bent on the passenger side front,what might be a general cost for straightening?
AnswerRandy,
For me to give you an accurate estimate on frame repair sight unseen is very difficult to say
the least.If there is any possibility of you sending a photo of the damaged area.
I may be able to give you a ball park figure.
It is a professional process like any thing else Randy. A drive on high tech frame rack will
first off, require set up time for each vehicle. Along with a gauging and measurement application.
This is the attachment of special tram gauges or lasers to diagnose the damage.Insurance companies
make allowances for this procedure before the actual repair begins, and it is usually 1.5 to 2.0
hours @ Frame rate. The frame repair hour rate is about 20.00 to 30.00 dollars higher than the
general sheet metal and body repair rates.Some just allow a flat rate(setup time) It depends who
and what company is handling your claim.
There are also replacement parts to consider, such as the suspensions control arms/A-arms
coil springs,shocks,bushings,spindles,etc.
I hope this sheds some light on your situation.
and best of luck to you. At your service Bill.
