Restoring Your Vehicle's Safety From The Inside Out

Computerized Frame & Structural Measuring
Structural damage is not always visible from the outside. A vehicle can look fine after a collision while its frame or unibody structure is bent, twisted, or misaligned in ways that compromise safety. At Haskins Automotive, we use computerized measuring systems to check your vehicle's structure against the manufacturer's exact specifications, down to the millimeter.
This technology allows our technicians to identify hidden damage that a visual inspection alone would miss, including issues with the frame rails, crumple zones, and mounting points for suspension and safety components. Because modern vehicles are engineered with specific crumple zones and high-strength steel sections designed to absorb impact and protect passengers, even small deviations from factory measurements can affect how a vehicle performs in a future collision. Our measuring process gives us a clear, accurate picture of the damage before we begin any repair, so nothing is missed and nothing is guessed.
Unibody & Full Frame Straightening
Once we have a complete picture of the damage, our technicians use hydraulic straightening equipment to return your vehicle's frame or unibody structure to its original factory dimensions. This process requires specialized training and equipment, which is why structural repair is one of the most technically demanding areas of collision work. We follow manufacturer-specific repair procedures for each make and model we service,
including Subaru, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Hyundai, GM, Mopar, Nissan, and Kia vehicles, so the repair meets the same standards used on the factory production line. Throughout the straightening process, we continuously re-measure the structure to confirm it is being corrected accurately. Once the frame or unibody is restored to specification, we move forward with any remaining collision repairs, including panel replacement, welding, and refinishing, so your vehicle is not only safe but also looks the way it should.

Why Structural Repair Should Never Be A Shortcut
Structural and frame repair is one of the most important parts of the collision repair process, because it directly affects your vehicle's ability to protect you in a future accident. A frame or unibody structure that has not been repaired correctly can compromise airbag deployment, seatbelt function, and how the vehicle absorbs impact, even if the damage is not visible from the driver's seat. At Haskins Automotive, we do not consider a vehicle repaired until its structure has been measured, corrected, and verified against factory specifications.
Our shop holds certifications from multiple major manufacturers, including Subaru, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Hyundai, GM, Mopar, Nissan, and Kia, which means we have invested in the specialized equipment, training, and repair procedures these automakers require for structural work on their vehicles. This is especially important given how much vehicle construction has changed in recent years, with many manufacturers now using high-strength steel, aluminum components, and advanced driver assistance sensors that must be properly calibrated after structural repairs.
We understand that structural damage can be an unsettling discovery after an accident, especially if the vehicle still looks driveable. Our team will walk you through our findings, explain what repairs are necessary, and answer any questions about how the process affects your vehicle's safety and resale value. We also work directly with your insurance company to document the repair and keep your claim moving forward. When structural integrity is on the line, there is no room for shortcuts, and Wellesley drivers trust Haskins Automotive to get it right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Providing reliable maintenance and repairs since 1929, our skilled mechanics support the automotive needs of local motorists.
How do I know if my vehicle has structural or frame damage?
Structural damage is not always visible. Signs can include doors or panels that do not close properly, uneven tire wear, or a vehicle that pulls to one side. Our computerized measuring system can confirm whether structural damage is present, even if it is not obvious from the outside.
Is my vehicle safe to drive if the frame was damaged and then repaired?
Yes, once the repair is complete and verified. We measure your vehicle's structure against factory specifications throughout the repair process to confirm it has been restored correctly before it leaves our shop.
Will structural repair affect my car's resale value?
Properly documented, manufacturer-approved structural repair helps preserve your vehicle's value and safety. We provide detailed repair records that can be shared with future buyers or used for your own records.
What equipment do you use to repair a damaged frame?
We use computerized measuring systems and hydraulic straightening equipment to identify and correct structural damage to exact factory specifications for your vehicle's make and model.
Do you recalibrate safety sensors after structural repairs?
Many modern vehicles require sensor recalibration after structural work, particularly for driver assistance systems. We follow manufacturer procedures to make sure these systems are properly calibrated as part of the repair process.
