French term

passage au marbre

French to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
"...la remise en état du matériel après sinistre ou accident (petite et grosse carrosserie, passage au marbre,...), dans la mesure où cette intervention n’interfère pas avec les dispositions du contrat d’assurance de l’usager, le titulaire ne saurait subroger l’assureur dans l’exécution de sa mission"

"extensive repair after major accident" perhaps? Is there a specific English expression equivalent of the French one?

Thanks!

Chris, Here's a car-o-liner frame alignment bench. It might be similar to what you are referring to (autoliner):

I heard these bits of kit referred to as "autoliners" years ago but I haven't been able to find any relevant. refs. The term "marbre" (also used for optical benches) refers to the fact that the platform is necessarily very flat and stiff. Here are several pictures: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-Sale-5600mm-Long-Auto-Bo...
"Body realignment" would probably work for "passage au marbre".
