From collisions to fender benders, accidents unfortunately happen every day. They leave dents and scratches on cars, scraping paint, and damaged panels. So, what are the most common auto body shop repairs that are needed?

Dents

Dents can happen for any type of reason and that is why they are the most common auto body repair. Dents are typically one of the results of motor vehicle collisions, but you may get a dent without even trying. Dents are easy to do, but the good news is they’re also usually easy to repair. Don't wait to get your dent repaired. Dents and surface defects tend to deteriorate quickly. Most dents come with some kind of paint scratch. When the paint is scratched off, moisture can get underneath, rusting the metal. Go to an auto body shop as quickly as you can for this simple fix.

Paint

Like mentioned before, paint scratches and rock chips can lead to rust and other underlying car damage. If left unaddressed, these issues can cause long-lasting harm to your car’s paint and metal. An auto body repair technician can fix the scratch and then match the color of your paint exactly so you would never even see where any damage occurred.

Bumpers

Bumpers are extremely important for your car, they take the brunt of small collisions and impacts and shield the rest from more damage. Bumpers are not as simple as dents and paint repair. That is because cracks, scrapes, and other bumper damage can be tough to address. Bumpers come in many styles and sizes and are made from a wide range of materials.

Windshields

A cracked windshield can happen from many instances as well whether that be an accident or flying debris of some sort. The problem with windshields is that even the smallest of cracks can get worse over time, which can compromise the structural integrity of the glass. You need a clean windshield free from scratches and cracks to see the best while driving, so do not wait for repairs.
