Frame Alignments in Antioch, CA
Accurate Frame Alignments to Restore Vehicle Geometry
Frame Alignments play a key role in vehicle safety and performance. At Geno's Auto Body in Antioch, our team focuses on accurate measurement and a careful repair plan so your vehicle handles as intended. Call 925-706-2143 to speak with a technician about concerns or to schedule an inspection.
What frame alignment addresses
Frame alignment corrects deviations in the vehicles structural geometry that affect suspension and steering. Problems may result from accidents, hitting curbs, or severe road hazards. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, and decreased stability.
Our evaluation process
We begin by documenting visible damage and gathering your description of symptoms. Next, we use precision measuring equipment to check key points against factory tolerances. If measurements show the frame is out of specification, we discuss options such as controlled straightening or replacement of damaged components, followed by a final alignment.
Detailed reporting and transparent estimates
Before any major work, we provide a written estimate based on our measurements and recommended repairs. That estimate outlines the expected procedures and parts involved. We also share before-and-after measurements so you can see the results of the work performed.
Safety-focused approach
Safety is central to everything we do. Repairs are selected to restore correct geometry and vehicle performance, not just to make cosmetic changes. Our technicians evaluate how each repair affects steering, suspension mounts, and occupant protection systems.
Signs you need a frame alignment inspection
- Steering feels loose or off-center.

Questions about Frame & Unibody Repair
Troubleshooting Guide
My car pulls to one side after a collision. Is the frame bent?
Pulling can arise from tire, suspension, alignment, or structural damage; the symptom alone does not identify the cause. Stop driving if handling is unsafe and arrange an inspection with Geno's Auto Body.
Several doors or the trunk no longer line up after an impact. What does that mean?
Multiple fit changes may indicate more than isolated panel damage. Do not force closures or drive with an unsecured latch. Geno's Auto Body can assess the body and structural measurements.
Why does one side of the vehicle sit lower after an impact?
Damage to suspension parts, mounting points, or the structure may affect ride height. Avoid driving until the safety concern is assessed. Tell Geno's Auto Body when the change began and where the impact occurred.
Can uneven tire wear after an accident point to structural damage?
It can be associated with alignment, tire, suspension, or structural issues, but wear alone is not a diagnosis. Geno's Auto Body can assess collision-related concerns and explain the inspections needed.
The outside looks repaired, but the car still feels unstable. What should I do?
Do not continue driving a vehicle that feels unstable. Arrange a professional inspection and describe the symptoms and repair history to Geno's Auto Body. Exterior appearance alone does not verify structural geometry or safe handling.
Service Questions
View All Service QuestionsCan frame damage be repaired after a collision?
Some structural damage can be repaired, but repairability depends on the vehicle and the type and severity of damage. Geno's Auto Body evaluates measurements and the appropriate procedures before recommending frame straightening or component replacement.
What is the difference between frame alignment and unibody repair?
Frame alignment addresses structural geometry. Unibody repair addresses damage to a vehicle whose body and structure form an integrated assembly. We inspect the vehicle to determine which structural work is appropriate.
Do you offer full frame straightening?
Yes. Geno's Auto Body offers full frame straightening along with frame alignment and unibody repair. Measurement and inspection determine the work required; a symptom alone cannot establish the repair plan.
