frame and unibody structure

Understanding Modern Car Construction & Structural Repair

Modern vehicles feature unibody construction, where the body and frame are integrated for superior collision repair performance. When a crash occurs, damage to the exterior often means frame straightening and structural repair are required. However, thanks to today's sectional unibody designs, only the damaged segments need replacement—keeping repair costs low and reducing overall downtime.

By replacing individual frame sections rather than the entire frame, this method delivers economical and efficient structural repairs. It also ensures that the vehicle’s remaining structure remains intact and safe. At AW Collision, our technicians use advanced auto body repair techniques to restore your car to factory standards—combining precision, efficiency, and cost savings for you.

Why This Matters for You?

Cost-effective structural repair – only the damaged parts are replaced, avoiding unnecessary expenses.
