About Unibody Straightening in Newport Beach
Unibody straightening corrects van platform shells where body and structure are the same thing. Newport Beach Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster repairs include ADAS scan and recalibration where the vehicle is equipped.
Van platforms are unibody, which means there is no separate frame to straighten. The body is the structure. Correcting a damaged Sprinter, Transit, or ProMaster means restoring the shell itself to specification, and because these vehicles increasingly carry driver assistance sensors mounted to that shell, getting the geometry right is a safety system requirement rather than just a fit and finish one.

Insurance Notes
Structural correction must be completed and verified before body and paint. A carrier that approves cosmetic work first is buying a repair that will fail.
We bill direct with every major carrier and hold direct repair relationships with several. Read how the claim process works or the 25 things carriers do not tell you about RV and van claims.
