Future problems with a repaired car frame?

Ruby Martis: when factory built many pannels[inc frame] are spot welded...when i weld pannels on i seam weld which is a lot stronger than factory...if yours had been done this way it will outlast any factory welds,...

Violette Vanek: well once it has been smashed it's never the same as it was the day it left the factory. i just recently took my car off the road after i discovered some well hidden accident damage. i got the car off my nana and she had put 300,000kms on it without any problems but i just didn't trust it.i would take the car back and try to get your money back. contact any consumer rights organisations you have in your area and find out where you stand.it's just not worth risking the lives of your family dude...Show more

Floyd Labuda: My husband is a body tech for a living, and as long as who ever repaired it welded correctly on the crush points.. (where the car "acordians" crushes when you get in a accedent) You should be fine, you can take it t! o a body shop and they have a machine that mesures the thickness in the crush points are correct... quwen61 on yahoo messanger if you would like to talk futher about this! and technicly you can sue for them not stating that the car has had work done, if you bought it new ** Like I said there are certin points that are supposed to be srtonger then others, so that your car crushed in the right places when you get in to an accedent, stronger isn't always better, the strong weld can cause it to crush point to shift to a different place which is not a good thing!...Show more

Phillip Modafferi: You have to weigh the pros and cons. A car that is repaired by a certified body shop with proper welding and frame straightening equipment will be almost perfect when the car is laser-aligned front to back, and the repair is done to manufacturer's quality control standards. You be the judge. Many body shops offer before and after photos, and will challenge experts to measure the rep! air and compare it to factory specs.
