Why should you Fix the Car Dents Immediately?
Your car may experience minor scratches, dents, or major damage while driving, in a parking space, or during a collision. To save on repair costs and prevent the damage from worsening, you must have them repaired immediately.
-
Rust and corrosion
If your car has deep dents or scratches on a specific panel, the scratches may begin to develop rust or corrosion within 2-3 days. If you live in a humid or coastal area, corrosion may develop more rapidly.
-
Repair cost
The delayed dent repair affects the surrounding areas and weakens the panel, making it an expensive repair.
-
Resale value of the car
Multiple dents and other damage to your car affect the car's appearance and indicate poor maintenance, ultimately reducing its resale value.
-
Insurance complications
If your car's specific panel, such as the door, bumper, etc., has dents or scratches and the same panel is damaged again, the insurance company may argue that the damage was pre-existing and reject the claim.
What are the Types of Car Denting and Painting?
Minor dent repair
Small and minor dents are pushed back to their original shape without affecting the paint. The process uses paintless dent repair (PDR) methods, which are quick and affordable.
Major dent repair
Large and deep dents need to be filled up and require repainting. The shape, strength, and appearance of the affected area are restored to make the vehicle look smooth and damage-free.
Scratch Repair
The car's surface may be scratched due to trees, shopping carts, small stones, etc. Minor scratches can be repaired with a scratch-remover compound and polishing. Major and deep scratches are addressed through filling and sanding the scratch to make it smooth and then painting it to match the car's original colour.
