What computerized frame straightening actually means
"Frame straightening" gets thrown around a lot. There's a real difference between a shop that eyeballs a panel back into shape and one that pulls the structure on a calibrated rack, measures it against the factory specification, and proves the final geometry is within tolerance. Sevilla does the second kind.
Full-frame trucks
Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, RAM, Toyota Tundra. Body-on-frame straightening for the trucks that do real work in Nashville.
Unibody cars & SUVs
Modern unibody construction needs specialized pulling techniques. We straighten unibody on the same computerized rack with the proper anchoring.
Laser & ultrasonic measurement
Every reference point is compared to the factory OEM specification — usually held within 3 mm tolerance, often closer.
Documented before & after
You get printed measurement reports so you can prove the repair quality — important for insurance, resale, and trade-in.
Wheel alignment after repair
Frame work changes alignment geometry. Every car gets a four-wheel alignment after the frame is back to spec.
OEM body panels available
Where the frame work needs new panels, we install original-equipment body panels by default. Aftermarket only at your request.
The honest "is it worth fixing?" conversation
Some shops will quote any repair just to get the work. We don't. If a car is borderline or beyond economic repair, we tell you straight — sometimes the right answer is to let your insurance total it. We'll walk you through:
- The total repair cost — frame, panels, paint, alignment, labor — in a written estimate.
- Your insurance company's total-loss threshold — typically 70 to 80 percent of the actual cash value.
- The structural reality — some damage can be straightened safely, some can't. We'll tell you which is which.
- The resale impact — frame-damaged cars sell for less even when repaired well. Sometimes taking the total-loss payout is the better long-term move.
You make the final call with all the information. No pressure either direction.
Why Nashville drivers trust Sevilla for frame work
Mario Sevilla personally inspects every frame job before the car leaves the shop. The car gets test-driven, alignment-verified, and a final measurement printout goes in your paperwork. No middle layer pushing for a quicker turnaround at the cost of doing the work right.
"After a serious collision the insurance adjuster wanted to total my truck. Sevilla showed me the frame could be safely repaired, documented every measurement, and got it back to OEM spec for half what the dealer quoted. Truck drives perfectly straight."
"Deep scratches along the rear quarter panel and door of my 2024 Kia Telluride from a parking-garage collision were removed and refinished to a flawless factory black, at roughly 1/3 the price of competitor quotes."
