    Technically,, our cars dont have a frame. They are unitized construction, meaning what would be a frame is incorporated into the floor of the car. Yes there is something called a subframe which is as close as we get to an actual frame. The entire car falls into the design of a unit-bodied car ( are we learning here?) The roof plays an important roll. We also have the engine compartment which holds the motor,, there are areas that appear to be a frame. That is as close as it gets. I want to help you in assessing what is wrong with your car. Give us some more info and the area of damage, maybe this is not as dark as it appears.

    Pretty much anything can be repaired on the uni-body but if there is structural damage it will need to go to a shop that has the proper equipment to secure the body and pull to proper dimensions, this all of course depending on what the damage is and how bad. Some pic's would help if possible.
