Was your car recently in an accident? Whether you’re looking at minor damage or something more extreme, you’ll need to find a reliable collision repair center in your area. Not sure what to expect once you get your car to the shop? Here are four of the most common types of collision repair you can expect after being in an accident.
1. Paintless Dent Repair
In some cases, your car may be dented while the paintjob remains intact. This is ideal, as your auto shop should be able to make a paintless dent repair. This process removes the dent without impacting the paint. It will leave your car looking as if it had never been in an accident at all.
2. Body Filler
When the dent is too serious, your collision repair specialist may have to use body filler to fix the problem. He will fill the dent with this material and then smooth it over. When it dries, a fresh coat of paint will hide the damage.
3. Bumper Replacement
Car bumpers often protect you and your car from significant damage. Unfortunately, that means bumpers often absorb the majority of the impact during an accident. Work with you auto technicians to ensure they install the correct bumper.
4. Painting
Surface damage is one of the most common types of collision repair you can expect after an accident. You should take care of scratched paint quickly to prevent rusting. In some cases, the paint just needs a touch-up. When the damage is more severe, however, your entire vehicle may need repainting.
