    If the frame of a car is damaged, what can be done to fix it? Can it be fixed? How much would it cost? Is it worth it?

    All replies will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you

    To many variables to give you specific answers.

    Yes frames can be repaired cost depends on how damaged and if new parts are needed or available.
    Rear? Front?


    No reason not to fix a car thats fixable but most ferraris are totaled based on the fact that parts are expensive, these cars dont get the aftermarket support in the collision industry that your honda or chevy get so unless you buy used parts its a bit expensive.

    One of the authorized Ferrari service centers in the US can likely straighten the frame to OEM specs. Best to ask them and give them more specifics.

    I was in one of the factory authorized body shops yesterday being shown around by an old friend. Due to the requirements being placed on authorized body shops by many manufacturers repair costs are skyrocketing. Little wonder so many cars are being totaled.
