Many garages can also provide bodywork services as well as standard MOT testing, checks and system maintenance, so always be sure to check what your local garage can help with. Alternatively, a quick search on the Internet will help you find a reliable garage that can help restore your car back to its original condition.
Here we explain some of the body repairs that a professional garage or workshop can help with.
Big or small, scratches of all sizes can make your vehicle look uncared for. In many cases scratches are caused while driving such as parking or reversing, however sometimes irresponsible drivers can damage your car when you’re out in public – in fact, RAC Insurance found that two-thirds of motorists have suffered damage to their vehicles while in car parks. Taking your car to a professional garage that specialises in bodywork, will ensure your car is treated properly, and expert colour matching techniques means scratches can be matched to the exact colour.
Collisions, or bumping in to other obstructions such as bollards is a common way of denting your car. Although you may be able to live with a dent in your car, it could be crushing internal parts of the vehicle and you may need a complete replacement. A dent removal service or trained mechanic will be able to assess the problem professionally and ensure it’s returned to a safe condition.
Crushed car parts are sometimes beyond repair, so they may need to be replaced, with wing mirrors, windscreens, and door are often vulnerable areas. At LT Auto Services, we can fix and replace the bodywork as well as mechanical and electrical components.
If you’re unfortunate enough to be involved in a road collision, then you are likely to sustain some bodywork damage to your vehicle. Most people will have this sorted through their insurer, however, you can also settle this privately between you and the liable party. Collisions can result in much more complicated bodywork damage, that could make your vehicle a write off. You should always consult a trusted workshop who can tell you exactly what can be done for the damage.
When your car is damaged, no matter how small, it can make a big difference to your car’s appearance. Even if you need to save up to cover the cost, taking care of physical repairs will keep your vehicle looking brand new and enjoyable to drive. You shouldn’t be embarrassed of your car, no matter its make, model or age. Any car can remain in good condition with careful driving and regular maintenance.
Below we explain the top benefits of bodywork repairs.
Many people will purchase a new car, and for the first few months they’ll be dedicated to keeping it clean and generally in good condition. However, more often than not this won’t last long and bodywork repairs will go untouched for long periods. Driving a vehicle that’s seen better days is not enjoyable to use – remember how much you paid for your vehicle and how much you rely on it, spending a little time and money of its repairs is a good investment for the future.
Sometimes, leaving bodywork unrepaired can have a negative effect on the internal mechanism of the vehicle. Ignoring dents and cracks could result in underlying damage that cannot be detected until you bring it in for a repair – although a dent or blemish may look unproblematic, it could in fact be much more unsafe underneath. Additionally, damaged areas can leave the car exposed to rust which over time can lead to weakened parts.
If you use your car for work, such as driving to meet clients, picking clients up or attending meetings, having a car that looks professional will reflect well on your business. You don’t need to have a brand new or expensive car to make a good impression, however, if your vehicle can visible damage, dents and scratches this may suggest that you don’t take pride in your vehicle, or other areas of your life such as your work.
If you plan on selling your vehicle, and it’s in good condition other than bodywork damage, it’s a good idea to get this repaired before you advertise it. Damage is not attractive to buyers. You may have a vehicle that has low mileage and great features, but even a small amount of damage can be a turn off for buyers – you may still get a sale if your lower the asking price, but how is it benefiting you? Bringing your car to a professional dent removal expert or car scratch repair garage will get things fixed quickly – you can then increase the selling price and possibly regain want you’ve spent on repairs.
It’s not always new and immaculate cars that are targeted by opportunists, in fact, cars with bodywork damage could be seen as vulnerable. Car door damage, for example, can make the car easier to break in to – used in all kinds of criminal activity, thieves may have the mindset that a severely damaged car is less likely to be reported that one that’s in good condition.
When damage is not repaired, it can often go for months or years without being looked at. While this may seem to be okay, you could be causing more serious damage as the problem slowly progresses. Doing this could result in a hefty bill when you finally decide to take your car to a garage – leaving you out of pocket and potentially creating a much longer repair time.
