Has anyone here gotten into an accident with their max involving rear ending someone and folding their hood, fenders, radiator, radiator supports, and light housings?

My question is when you had it on a frame machine, after when everything is fixed and all done was handling the same? or anything else feel different? I know you can never get it back to mint again but im just wonderin if this has happened to ne one and what their results were. thanks

I run a body shop and I'll be glad to give you some advise.

A frame rack measures in mm. There is roughly a 10% (.1mm) margin of error from the factory. A good frame tech, gets your car within or better then factory spec in some cases. Handling, drivability shouldn't be an issue with a good shop. Newer shops now use digital frame racks that measure down to 2% margin error. Thats tighter then factory spec.

Bring your car to a good shop with good frame equipment. Car-O-liner is probably one of the oldest and best racks out there. Also make sure the techs are I-Car certified.

Your car should be braught back to pre-accident condition and should have no drivability issues. Ask to see the final alignment print out after the job is done. If your alignment is on, your subframe and unibody structure is also lined up correctly.

Choose a good shop to repair your car and ask about their warranty. We offer 5 years, nation wide coverage and lifetime on the finish. A shop that offers a similar warranty might be a wise choice.

Good luck, I hope you find a shop that meets your repair expectations.

Damn, exactly something i needed to hear. Thanks for your time and help.
Good look!

One more question for you, now I didnt hit hard enough for my airbags to deploy, i actually didnt even have my seat belt on at the time (didnt jolt forward, get hurt or nothing) I mean im guessing i hit him at a good 5-8 mph. Anyways now if the machine is set to the cars specs and the frame is OK im assuming its def. not gonna stretch/pull it right?
-thanks-

 

Yes, they wount pull anything if it's within spec.

Your welcome!
