Structural Repair
Restore Your Vehicle’s Foundation With Precision & Care
When a collision affects your vehicle’s underlying framework—be it unibody, subframe, or supporting structure—it demands meticulous attention. At American Collision Center (ACOFSA) in San Antonio, our Structural Repair service repairs what you don’t see: the core of your vehicle’s safety, alignment, and long-term performance.
Why Structural Repair Matters
Structural damage goes beyond cosmetic dents. It can compromise your vehicle’s:
- Safety cage and crash protection systems
- Suspension alignment and steering precision
- Tire wear and overall handling
- Resale value and insurance compliance

What counts as structural damage on a car?
Structural damage includes any harm to the vehicle's frame or essential load-bearing parts—like the chassis, floor pan, roof rails, or unibody structure—that affects safety and performance.
Can structural damage be fully repaired?
Yes, with the right tools and expertise. We follow manufacturer specifications to restore structural strength and alignment, ensuring your vehicle is safe and road-ready.
Will structural repair affect my car’s resale value?
If professionally repaired and documented, many buyers and dealerships will still accept the car. However, transparency is important, and repair history may be noted on vehicle reports.
How long does structural repair take?
Depending on the severity of the damage, it may take 3 to 7 working days, including diagnostic, realignment, welding (if required), and safety inspection.
