Go Time Auto Repair

Frame and unibody repair after a hard hit

After a serious hit, your car goes back to factory measurements so it drives straight, the doors close right, and the safety structure does what it was built to do. We measure first, show you the numbers, and straighten only what needs it. You get a written estimate and photo updates the whole way.

Frame repair

  • Frame and unibody measurement against factory specifications
  • Straightening on a frame rack for bent rails and pillars
  • Section replacement when a rail or support is too damaged to pull back
  • Suspension and steering inspection after the structure is corrected
  • Wheel alignment once the frame is back in spec
  • Airbag and safety system check before the car leaves
  • Measurement printout you can keep for your records

Signs you need this

  • The car was hit hard on the front or side and the hood or doors no longer line up
  • It pulls to one side even after an alignment
  • Tires are wearing unevenly since the accident
  • A door has to be slammed to close, or a gap is wider on one side
  • The insurer is talking about totaling the car and you want a second look

We measure the car and give you a written estimate before any pulling starts. Then we walk through what the insurance covers and what you pay. Tax is on parts only, not on labor.

Questions people ask

How do I know if my frame is bent?
Uneven gaps, doors that do not close right, a pull that alignment does not fix, and uneven tire wear are the common signs. The only way to be sure is to measure it, which we do before quoting.
Can a bent frame really be fixed?
Yes, within limits. Modern unibodies are designed to be straightened back to spec, and parts that are too damaged are cut out and replaced. If the damage goes beyond what can be safely repaired, we tell you plainly.
Will the car be safe afterward?
When it is measured and returned to spec, yes. That is the point of measuring instead of eyeballing. We also check the airbags, seat belts, and suspension before you drive it.
Does the insurer get to pick where this is done?
No. In Florida you choose your own body shop. Structural work is exactly the kind of job where you want to pick the shop yourself.
Will it show up on the vehicle history report?
A reported accident usually shows regardless of who repairs it. What you control is the quality of the fix, and a measured, documented repair is what a future buyer wants to see.
