How much will it cost to fix my car frame?

I was in a fender bender last month and my car frame sustained damage. I don’t have collision coverage, so I’ll have to pay out-of-pocket to repair my car frame. How much will it cost to fix my car frame?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear your car frame sustained damage in an accident.
The cost to fix a car frame can be between $600 and $10,000, depending on the location, nature, and extent of the
frame damage
.
Minor frame damage contained to the suspension mounts could cost $1,000 to repair, while a severely damaged or twisted frame will cost $10,000 or more. These costs typically don’t include the additional cosmetic repairs associated with a damaged frame.
Whether you can repair your car’s frame or your car is totaled, and you have to buy a new one, you’ll want to consider purchasing
collision coverage
in case this happens in the future.
