Frame Damage Assessment in Dorval

After a collision, damage to a vehicle’s structural components can affect alignment, handling and safety. At 24K Auto Québec Inc. in Dorval, our team assesses collision-related body and structural damage before recommending an appropriate repair plan.

Not every damaged frame or structural part can be repaired safely. The correct approach depends on the vehicle manufacturer’s repair procedures, the location and extent of the damage, and the measurements obtained during inspection. Where straightening is appropriate, precise alignment and verification are essential.

Careful Assessment and Structural Repair

Our collision-repair process begins with an inspection of the affected areas and a discussion of the required work. Depending on the vehicle and damage, repairs may involve measuring, correcting alignment, replacing damaged components or referring specialized procedures to an appropriately equipped provider.

We explain the proposed work and help customers understand how accident damage, insurance estimates and necessary parts may affect the repair.

• Collision damage assessment: Identify visible damage and determine whether further structural inspection is needed.
• Repair planning: Follow applicable vehicle-manufacturer procedures when deciding between repair and replacement.
• Alignment and verification: Check repaired areas and relevant fitment before returning the vehicle.
• Insurance coordination: Assist with the repair estimate and supporting documentation when applicable.

For a new assessment, book an in-person appointment online and bring the vehicle to our Dorval shop if it is safe to drive. The initial verbal estimate of visible bodywork damage is free; structural diagnosis may require a separate inspection. A written estimate is provided where Québec law requires one before repairs, and the exact fee for any separately billed written-estimate preparation or detailed inspection is disclosed before your agreement. We do not quote repair prices by telephone, message or photos.

After a collision: visible misalignment alone cannot establish whether frame straightening is feasible or safe. For exterior body damage, review our post-collision body repair service in Dorval. If you have an insurance claim, see your options for choosing a body shop in Québec. Specialist structural work, authorization and costs must be assessed for the particular vehicle and damage.
