Frame Straightening Machine


At DRIVE Collision Centers only the best will do, that's why we use the DUZ MOR Magnum 360 LW Series Frame Rack (The 4th Generation of the Famous Cage) which allows us to make pulls in any direction and straighten the frame and repair structural damage to your vehicle.

This DUZ MOR machine is 21 ft. long and has 3 towers with 10 ton of 360 degree 3-dimensional push and pull capacity. The DUZ MOR 360 machine makes it possible to effectively and affordability repair almost any damage to frames and chassis instead of replacing these components. In many cases this can be the difference to whether a unit can be saved or be classified a total loss.

Our technicians are specially trained on the DUZ MOR frame straightening machine. This experience is one more reason why customers choose us to straighten their frame. We also provide repairs, frame changes and structural repairs to aluminum bodies.

Frame Measuring


Chief's Velocity is the digital measuring system the industry turns to most for frame straightening, after all, it is the world's most accurate frame measuring system. Velocity's sophisticated laser technology not only identifies damage you can see, but primary and secondary damage you can't see, helping our technicians develop more efficient repair plans thus eliminating comebacks.

Chief's Velocity's scanner targets and eliminates distortion while delivering pinpoint accuracy. This allows our technicians identify incorrect pull set-ups BEFORE they are made to prevent additional damage and speed up the collision repair process.
