Heavy-duty truck frame damage always sounds more manageable than it actually is. Whether you’re operating concrete pumpers, refuse trucks, or multi-steer cranes, structural issues pile up fast and costly downtime becomes part of the job.
Commercial operators in Orange County can’t afford to gamble with substandard frame repairs. When concrete pumpers, refuse haulers, or heavy-duty cranes suffer structural damage, you need precision correction that meets federal specifications and gets your equipment back to work—fast.
Alignment Express delivers factory-specification frame repair using laser-guided systems accurate to 1/1000th of an inch. Since 1995, we’ve specialized in the complex structural challenges that standard truck shops can’t handle, from multi-axle concrete pumpers to specialized vocational trucks.
Why Professional Frame Repair Matters for Commercial Trucks
Every commercial vehicle faces unique structural challenges that demand specialized expertise. Frame damage isn’t just about cosmetic issues—it directly impacts vehicle safety, load capacity, and overall performance.
Alignment Express has served Southern California’s commercial truck industry since 1995, specializing in frame repair for all types of heavy-duty vehicles. From ambulances and fire vehicles to medium-duty and military trucks, our fully equipped repair facilities handle structural corrections that keep your fleet operational and compliant with safety standards.

Same-Day Service Capability
Understanding that downtime costs money, our efficient repair processes typically complete suspension and alignment work the same day. Our controlled facility environment allows experienced technicians to work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards.
The Critical Impact of Frame Damage on Commercial Operations
Frame integrity directly affects vehicle safety, load capacity, and DOT compliance. Under 49 CFR 393.201, commercial vehicle frames must not be cracked, loose, sagging, or broken, and any welded repairs must comply with manufacturer recommendations.
With approximately 4 million commercial motor vehicle inspections conducted annually under the North American Standard Inspection Program, frame issues represent a critical out-of-service risk. Suspension and frame violations are heavily scrutinized during DOT inspections, potentially sidelining vehicles until proper repairs are completed.
Advanced Equipment and Experienced Technicians
With over three decades of combined experience, our team brings deep knowledge of commercial truck frame construction and repair techniques. We operate two fully equipped facilities and maintain mobile service capabilities for maximum convenience.
Alignment Express was established in 1995 with a commitment to precision and reliability. This dedication continues today as we serve military, government, and commercial clients throughout the region.
