October 2011 Injury

Our new 2007 chevrolet avalanche was involved in a major accident (not our fault) and it sustained frame damage. After using a GM dealer for repairs to our vehicle and returning it three times it still was returned to us in an unsafe condition which put our family in a potentially position which could of caused another crash and injury or death. We decided to get our vehicle put on another frame machine for another opinion. The measurements were reported to be not within specifications and measure as follows.
