Melos Collision
Auto Frame Inspection Services in Fall River MA
The frame of a vehicle serves as its foundation. If it’s bent, cracked, or out of alignment—even slightly—it can lead to long-term problems such as uneven tire wear, compromised suspension, or reduced crash protection. Some warning signs that may indicate a frame problem include:
- Noticeable pull while driving
- Uneven gaps between body panels
- Suspension issues after an impact
- Strange noises from the undercarriage
- A general feeling that something “just isn’t right”
Ignoring these signs can lead to more extensive repairs down the line. A thorough frame check is a practical first step to ensure your vehicle stays safe and roadworthy.

FAQs
It may move under its own power, but doing so is discouraged. A weakened frame can throw off steering and alignment, and hidden defects may lead to bigger mechanical troubles later on.
A routine visit looks at wear items like brakes, fluids, and tires. A frame check focuses on the car’s backbone, hunting for twists, warps, or impact points that could threaten crash safety.
Not in every case. Smaller distortions can often be straightened with specialized equipment. When strength has been severely compromised, though, replacing part or all of the frame is the safer option.
If the damage is tied to an insured accident and you file a claim, most carriers include the frame assessment in their loss review. Confirm the details with your provider.
