Here at Kevin’s Car Repair LLC, we hope you never have to deal with a vehicle collision, but in the event that you do find yourself involved in an accident, it’s likely that your car will end up dented. Depending on the size of the dent and the severity of the collision, you may hold off on hiring an auto body technician for dent repair services. This would be a mistake.

Is it Okay to Hold Off on Dent Repair?

Even smaller dents can be hiding larger issues with your car. Many vehicle damages caused by a collision are difficult to spot on your own, and some may not even be apparent when you start driving. Taking in your car for dent repair can lead to your technician identifying hidden issues that you wouldn’t have noticed otherwise, allowing you time to address these issues with the necessary repair services before they worsen or contribute to a dangerous driving situation.

Your car itself will also suffer from long-term dent neglect. The longer you wait to repair a dent, the more likely you are to deal with rust formation. The cracks making up and surrounding the dent in your car expose the metal part of the car’s body. Water from rain mixing with exposed metal leads to rust forming, and while most people quickly identify rust as an eyesore, they aren’t always aware of how the presence of rust can weaken the body of their car.
