At Yorktown Auto Body, we understand that modern vehicles depend on a factory-accurate unibody structure for safety, performance, and resale value. That’s why our unibody repair service is built around top-tier equipment and exacting standards.
Why it matters
When your vehicle’s structure is compromised, whether from a collision, impact, or hidden damage, the integrity of the entire body, suspension geometry, and safety systems can be at risk. A correct structural repair ensures your vehicle drives as designed, protects occupants, and preserves value.
Our advanced equipment
- Electronic measuring system using the Car‑O‑Liner unibody platform: With laser/optical measuring technology, we map the entire body structure and compare it to the manufacturer’s original dimensions. This gives us a precise “before vs. factory” footprint and ensures every critical point is returned to spec.
- Glue-pull and outer panel repair via the Keco glue-pull system: For damage to exterior panels, we avoid unnecessary welds or spot-repairs and instead use a dedicated adhesive pulling method that preserves sheet-metal integrity, avoids heat distortion, and more accurately restores outer-body shape.
- Combined, these tools enable us to deliver structural repairs that are not only safe and durable, but also visually seamless.
Our unibody repair process
- Initial inspection & measuring – We mount your vehicle on our Car-O-Liner platform and run a full electronic measurement. Every major reference point is checked and compared to factory specs.
- Damage analysis & plan – We review the deviations, document the damage, and map out necessary repair work (frame straightening, panel replacement, glue-pull, etc.).
- Structural restoration – Using the measuring system, we align and straighten the unibody, ensuring that collision-impacted zones are returned to spec.
- Outer-panel refinement – With the Keco glue-pull system, we restore the outer skin panels, ensuring correct contour, fit and finish, with minimal metal fatigue.
- Final measurement & verification – After repair we rerun the electronic measurement to verify that every dimension is back within tolerance.
- Follow-through finishing – Once structural and panel work is complete, we finish with corrosion protection, sealing, paint & refinishing, then perform a full quality control review before delivery.
Ongoing training and certification
Our technicians undergo continuous training in advanced collision repair techniques, including manufacturer-specific unibody repair procedures, welding, and ADAS calibration. As vehicle materials and technology evolve, so do our methods. We stay current with the latest repair standards to ensure every unibody repair meets or exceeds OEM guidelines. This commitment to education means you can trust that your vehicle is being repaired by experts who understand modern vehicle design from the inside out.
