Why Are Cars Vulnerable to Dents


Cars are incredibly vulnerable to dents, but why? This blog post will explore why cars are prone to dents and the essential steps you should take after an accident.

Why Are Cars Prone to Dents?

There are many reasons why cars are susceptible to dents. These are:

  • Are made of metal: Metal is incredibly malleable and can easily be manipulated by an external force, making it easier to dent.
  • Weather conditions: Driving in bad weather can increase the chances of hitting objects or debris that could cause dents.
  • Age and material: Older cars are made with thinner metals, which are easier to dent than newer, thicker metals.
  • Parking: When parking, it's easy to miscalculate the distance between objects and your car, resulting in dents caused by bumps or scrapes.

The Most Common Types of Dents

Door Dents
The most common type of dent in cars, door dents, are usually caused by another vehicle opening their door too hard against yours when parked close together.

Hail Damage
Hail has become a more frequent weather occurrence over the last few years and can cause severe damage to cars, with large hailstones leaving circular-shaped indentations on car panels.

Parking Dents
A common fear for drivers is the ‘shopping trolley dent.' This type of dent is caused by other cars parking too close to yours and pushing against your vehicle, resulting in a dent on the side panel or bumper.

What Should You Do After an Accident?

It's imperative to take your car to a trusted collision repair shop immediately after an accident, no matter how minor the damage may look. Not only will they be able to advise you on what needs repairing, but they can also provide expert service that guarantees quality workmanship and peace of mind.

Furthermore, qualified professionals will be able to ensure that components such as seals and airbags are installed correctly.

My car needed paint correction and ceramic coating. I did my research and went to Color Recon as my previous two cars have been painted by them. Robert and Juan gave me three levels of paint correction and let me choose the price I wanted to pay. My car is black with years of swirls, halos and “spider webs”. I also went with the latest coating technology called graphene. I am very happy with the results
Hello Edward, We can't thank you enough for being a loyal customer. So glad you are happy with the results, and look forward to continued service with you for many years to come. We enjoyed having you, come by anytime.
