We don’t always think about it when we turn the keys in the ignition or sit in the driver’s seat. We think about the next time we need to fuel up more than we do about the various hazards that plague the roads we drive on. Flying debris and other drivers are always there to deal some damage and inevitably they will. If you’ve been unlucky and were dealt a decent dose of vehicle damage, we’re here to help.
Follow along with us at Toyota of Clermont for some essential tips on how to deal with auto body repair and damages.
Pull Out the Dents, Buff Out the Scratches
Check Your Auto Glass
Your car’s windshield and windows are prime for damages and subsequent auto body repair. You might be wondering how these seemingly smaller parts of your vehicle could be such damage hot spots. It’s because rocks on the highway are like homing missiles with the goal or breaking your windshield (at least they feel that way). Take some time and check the glass on your Clermont Toyota car for cracks and dings. Luckily, in Florida, you don’t have to pay a dime for vehicle glass replacement with comprehensive car insurance. Seriously. File a claim and see clearly again in no time!
Check EVERYTHING After a Fender Bender
While fender benders are extremely common accidents, they can lead to a lot of unseen auto body damage. In modern Clermont Toyota models a variety of safety technology is housed in the front and rear bumpers and could be heavily damaged when impacted. Your head and tail lights could lose their connection and stop working. Your car battery could fall out of its housing and disable your vehicle until it's reconnected. And your vehicle’s alignment could be heavily impacted. All from a low speed impact. Have your ride checked out thoroughly after a fender bender!
Inspect Scratches and Dents
Unfortunately, one of the great benefits to driving a car is the inevitable damages you’ll endure when you drive. Like we said, rocks are like homing missiles to your auto glass, but the same goes for your front bumper. Things are going to hit your car, some softly, and some hard. Spend a few minutes here and there tallying the number of scratches and dents on your ride. You should also see how major each one is. Deep scratches are not easily buffed out and can lead to rust damage if left alone for too long and large dents can hinder your Clermont Toyota car’s structural integrity. Not every scratch and dent needs auto body repair work done, but some do.
