Beyond the Bumper & How Precision Structural Repair Restores Your Car’s Crumple Zones
To guarantee that your car can withstand another impact exactly the way its manufacturer intended, the structural repair process must start with a comprehensive three-dimensional computerized laser scan. This diagnostic technology maps out the vehicle's entire undercarriage against a proprietary global database of factory specifications, identifying microscopic twists and shifts across hidden control points. Correcting these structural anomalies requires anchoring the vehicle to a specialized chassis alignment machine. For drivers across the Los Angeles Westside, the expert I-CAR trained technicians at Howard Brown & Sons Auto Body utilize the world-renowned Celette bench pulling system to systematically secure the vehicle at designated factory jig points. By holding the chassis in place with absolute structural rigidity, multi-tower hydraulic pullers can progressively massage the high-strength steel or aluminum frame rails back into their precise original dimensions without introducing new stress or weakening the metal.
