A chassis to the right dimensions means a car that handles properly, wears its tyres evenly and whose doors close well. Our workshop in Nazelles-Négron is equipped with a Celette jig to check and realign the bodies of Alfa Romeos and classic Italian cars.
When should a car go on the jig?
- After an accident, even an old one, or if you are unsure of the car's history.
- During a restoration, before and after replacing structural panels.
- If the car pulls to one side, wears its tyres unevenly or the doors and lids no longer line up.
How does the check work?
The body is fixed to the jig, then its mounting points are measured and compared with the manufacturer's dimensions. If there is any deviation, we straighten the structure until the original values are restored, then check again.
What you gain
- The original road behaviour of your Alfa Romeo.
- Restored safety for a car meant to be driven for many years.
- A sound base before refitting everything: panels, paint, suspension.
Frequently asked questions
Is the jig useful if there is no known accident?
On a classic car the history is often incomplete; a check avoids nasty surprises before an expensive restoration.
Do you work with insurers after a claim?
Yes, we help owners with the procedures.
