Default Frame Adjustment

Hello!! I'm a first time poster here on this forum... I have a 2007 Honda accord v6. My Honda has a rebuilt title. Due to the accident it was in... the frame has some damage and I know this because my alignment is always off. I took it to a tire shop and they were not able to align my tires like they were suppose to. Now my question is how much will it cost to take it to a body shop and repair the frame to the point where I can get my car to drive straight
Thank you!

No one can answer this question definitively. It may be damaged beyond repair.

I would suggest finding several local reputable body shops and get estimates from each. I would speculate that costs will very quickly reach 4-digits.

It might be possible to install camber adjustable lower arms or upper arms that will allow camber to brought into alignment. Camber is usually the problem w/ noticeable pull left or right.

If you have alignment results, post them for possible insight to adjustment possibilities.

good luck

I did wrecks in body shop for a while and getting the alignment right is pretty involved. Usually struts would bend first and after everything bent was replaced the subframe was the last resort if it showed no sign of damage. Some times loosening the bolts for the frame and moving it around brought it into specs. Are the shock towers damaged?
