How much does it cost to fix a bent car frame?

I bought a used car about a year ago, and since then I have been having issues with my wheel alignment. I had the car looked at and was told that the car’s frame is bent. How much will it cost to fix a bent car frame?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your car. Misaligned wheels can be a telltale sign of a bent car frame. Fixing a bent car frame can cost around $750 to fix, but it will depend on how severely the frame is damaged and the length of time it takes to fix.
When you fix a bent frame, technicians use a large clamp and hydraulic rams to force your frame back into place. They use these tools until your frame is straightened to the required measurements. Because of these tools and the time it takes for a mechanic to fix your car, the cost is a bit higher than some other car repairs. Shop around with multiple
