Owning anything always comes with risks. We don’t live in bubbles and the outside world (and maybe even yourself) are always out to cause some damage. While that’s a bit of an exaggeration, it’s true that there are an uncountable number of hazards that could impact (pun fully intended) your ride at any point in time. Before you venture out into the cruel unknown with your trusty Toyota by your side, check out Toyota of Clermont’s guide on the most common collision repair jobs so you can do your best to avoid them.
Avoid These Collision Mishaps
Front-End Repair (Fender Bender)
Probably one of the most common forms of collision repair, fender benders involve damage to the front and rear ends of your Clermont Toyota vehicle. These types of accidents happen in high traffic situations and while driving light to light. Damage is usually isolated to the bumpers, grille, headlights, trunk, and engine compartment. Repairs can range from minor to major, depending on the nature of the impact.
Dents
This type of collision repair is also extremely common but can occur from just about anything. A runaway shopping cart, hail, fender bender, etc can cause a dent and the typical protocol for collision repair is paint-less dent repair (PDR). This repair process usually requires a collision technician to reach behind or around the dent to pull or hammer it out. This evens the area out to ensure a uniform look to the body of your vehicle and doesn’t often require touchup painting.
Scratches
Again, a very common but pesky collision repair, scratches can also be caused by just about anything. Depending on how deep they are the repair process can take various courses. Light scratching can typically be buffed out with various products and accessories. Deep scratching will often require a thorough sanding to the spot and surrounding area along with paint touchups.
Windshield Repair
Driving on the highway there’s likely to be debris and other forms of hazards that fly right at your Clermont Toyota car at high speeds. Luckily your windshield is there to protect you, but it can often be damaged in the process. Your windshield is built with several layers of glass to prevent it from shattering when something impacts it, but it can still crack or chip. This can threaten its structural integrity and ability to work properly. Luckily, for residents in Clermont and Florida as a whole, you can have your windshield repaired free of charge with comprehensive car insurance.
