Frame & Structural Repair in Kaysville, UT
After a collision, the damage you can’t see is often more important than the damage you can. Sandman Collision has provided frame and structural repair in Kaysville, UT since 1989, using precise measuring and straightening methods to bring your vehicle back within factory tolerances — not just back to looking right.
Why Structural Repair Matters
Your vehicle’s frame or unibody is the foundation everything else is built on: the crumple zones that absorb impact, the mounting points that keep airbags and seatbelts working as designed, and the alignment that keeps doors, panels, and tires fitting and wearing correctly. A frame that’s pulled back into shape by eye, instead of measured against factory specifications, can leave a vehicle structurally weaker and less safe in a future collision — even if it looks fine in the driveway.
Our Frame & Structural Repair Process
We check the frame and unibody against factory specifications to find damage that isn’t visible from the outside.
Using calibrated equipment to restore the frame to its correct dimensions.
Any structural parts beyond repair are replaced with manufacturer-recommended parts.
Doors, panels, and suspension geometry are checked against spec, not just by eye.
A complete review before your vehicle goes back on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a bent frame always be fixed?
In most cases, yes — modern measuring systems let us restore proper tolerances on the vast majority of frame damage. In rare cases of catastrophic damage, your insurer’s adjuster will help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Will frame repair affect my car’s resale value?
Properly documented, professionally completed frame repair that restores a vehicle to factory specification has a much smaller impact on value than unrepaired or poorly repaired structural damage. We provide documentation of the work performed.
How can I tell if I need frame repair after a minor accident?
If you notice any of the signs above — uneven panel gaps, doors that stick, or the vehicle pulling to one side — it’s worth a free inspection even if the damage looks cosmetic.
