Crap like this put our industry down.. Cars today are so complex that if you don’t have a dedicated bench or computer measuring system and a WELL trained technician, most likely the repairs will be a joke.. Take for example a tape measure for your measurements, what a joke. LOL. Please call 911…………

A laser frame machine is MUCH better, it does the work and GUESS work for you, PLUS it gets the frame closer to original shape. Laser gets it down to micro, closer than a tape measure, 16th!!
