Car lover? Car dent? Read on…

Has time taken it’s toll on your vehicle? 
Is the bodywork beginning to look a little worse for wear? Are you sick and tired of looking at your car dents everyday? In that case maybe it is time to consider visiting your local car body repair shop for some car dent repair.  There are two main methods to repairing car dents, either totally removing the dents or by hiding them with the clever use of paint. Either method will make your car look as good as new.

Car repair shops help their customers  in repairing dents. They work out the kind of repair that your car needs. If there are slight dents,  it does not really need major repair.  If the car dent cannot be repaired because it is too large they can either remove the whole panel or that section of the car before attaching a newer portion, followed by painting.

At Scuffs N Scratches the customer is consulted at every stage of the process, with each option discussed before coming to an agreement as to the type of work to be carried out.  Whatever you decide, our friendly technicians will see to it that he achieves what you want.

Had an accident? Find a good Car body repair shop.

Car Body Repair

When you’ve had an accident the first thing you must consider is how to find a good quality car body repair shop. Accidents can cause stress to your mind and your pocket. It is challenging to find a reliable and trustworthy car scratch repair centre. Therefore, it is essential that you conduct proper research prior to letting any car body repair centre take over your vehicle.

Car Body Repair Shops

The first factor you must consider when looking at a car body repair centre is the length of time it will take to repair your car. Typically, if you look around the area where the car body shop is situated, you can gauge their business from afar. If they are receiving ample support from their neighbors, then they are good enough to repair your car. Another way to find out if your car body repair centre is generating sales is by word of mouth. There is no better advertising than word of mouth. If you hear of an auto body shop receiving rave reviews, you can feel confident enough that your car will be well taken care of.

You must also review the condition of the car body repair centre. Is it well equipped with all the necessary technology required to address any car scratch repair problem? You can even request a tour of the centre in order to get a better look at what is going on inside. What is ultimately important is that you find a car body repair centre which will restore your vehicle to its prior condition.

Car Scratch Repair

You can use those car scratch repair kits you see on TV or sold in stores but the truth is they really don’t work. In order to get a deep scratch out of your cars paint, it has to be sanded down and repainted by a professional car body repair centre . If you are looking for a a car body shop, look no further than these people. They are dedicated to providing their customers with a reliable and competitive service

Car Dent Repairs

There is nothing more frustrating than walking to the car park and realising your car has some unsightly car dents due to someone hitting your car with their shopping trolley. Such minor accidents seem to be happening more and more frequently, and since a car dent epair cost can cost a hefty bit of money it is better that you learn how to handle the car dent repairs on your own. Below are some helpful tips on how to repair car dents and get your vehicle looking as good as new.

For a start, you will need to assess the damage on your car. Most dents can be popped back out, provided the metal has not been crumpled or creased. In most cases, you can tell, simply by looking at the dent closely. Can you see any bumps or ripples in the metal that looks as though it was been partially folded? If the metal is not creased, then you should be able to fix the dent on your car in no time. If the metal is crumpled or creased, it is best that you buy that panel and replace the dent, rather than perform any car body dent repair.

To get the best results, before you get started you should wash this section of your car to ensure there is nothing to interfere with your car dent repair tools, Ideally you should clean the panel a good 4″-6″ around the dent in all directions. Dry thoroughly.

One of the easiest DIY car dent repair methods is to involve an item that almost all of us have in our homes – a common plunger. When you apply the plunger over the dent, make it a point to depress in a slow and steady fashion until all air has escaped. This way, you will have a tight seal between the panel and the rubber head of the plunger. Next, take a firm grip on the plunger and using a steady pull; gently pop the dent back out of the metal. This cat door dent repair method works best on side panels where it can be difficult to tap dents out.

For more serious car dent repair, you can approach a car dent repair shop that specializes in paint-free dent removal. Assuming there is no crease in your car paint, they can usually pop your dent out for you, for a reasonable fee. But if your car’s dent has a crease, then you will have to take it to an auto-body repair shop to fix the damage.

Identify poor body repairs before you buy

Caveat emptor – buyer beware!  Before you part with your hard-earned cash here’s is a quick rundown of what to look for when buying a car.

Paintwork repairs: look at the overall paintwork, the texture should match all over, all the sides of the car etc should look the same in lustre, the colour should be the same all over too. Look at each panel in turn, check every feature line to see if the body lines have been roll masked off. Open all the doors, bonnet, tailgate and check the edges between the outer and inner panels, have they been rolled masked off? Look to see if any bolts on the car have been touched in. When a car has had accident repairs the panels will be re aligned so the paint on the bolts will be disturbed and then touched back in. If all looks good on the edges, look over the body for hazy patches, these patches are often ‘blow ins’ or ‘fade outs’, they are signs of minor accident repairs.

Body panel alignment: walk around the car and just eye up all the gaps, all the door gaps, bonnet & boot gaps should be equal and centralized. A good car body repair centre should have attention to detail and gaps are a classic tell tale sign of work being done. Lift the bonnet and check the engine bay, look at the flinches and chassis legs, all should look untouched. Look for marks where bolts have been undone and panels re-aligned, I call these ‘witness marks’ as they show something has been moved. Lastly, look at the cars sill. The lip part of the sill where the sill joins the floor pan should be covered in stone chip protector and painted. If there are pitted marks about twelve inches long and two patches on either side. These are ‘clamp marks’ and it shows that the car has been on a pulling machine to be re-aligned and accident repairs have been

There are many other ways to assess if a car has had accident repairs, these are my ‘must do checks’ list. Finally, there is nothing wrong with an accident repaired car as long as it has been repaired right. If you do notice a few little things on paintwork etc or you just want the car regardless, use what you have seen to bargain the price down. Car sales guys will hate me for telling you that but hey, I’m here to help.

I hope this article has given you a few things to think about.
