You might think that the only time you really need to take your car in for body repairs is if you’re in an accident. The truth is, that’s just one of many reasons to consider hiring a professional to fix up the body of your car. Here are four other times you’ll need auto body repair in Johnston and the surrounding areas.
Parking Lot Dings
Parking lots are a minefield of little accidents just waiting to happen to your car. Other people park too close and when they open their door – ding. Sometimes they’ll leave an apologetic note, but most times, they just drive off like nothing happened. Do you ever feel like your car is magnetic and it attracts every stray shopping cart in the parking lot? The always seem to drift directly at your car, leaving scuffs, dings and small dents in the paint job. Over time, those little things add up and your car starts to look like it’s been through a minor battle.
Minor Fender-Benders
Your trash cans, kids bikes left in the driveway, the side of the garage door and those bushes next to the driveway seem to jump right out at you sometimes. It’s only a little bump here and a scrape there, right? The dings and dents these obstacles cause aren’t huge, but with enough of them, your car will look like the surface of the moon. As if the dents and dings aren’t bad enough, the paint on those areas gets scraped off, exposing the metal to the elements, and it starts to rust.
Acts Of Nature
Sometimes, Mother Nature is mean and destructive. One of the biggest threats to a car is hail, which can leave major dents all over the surface. Not only that, but it can also crack or even break the windshield and other windows. That’s not the only trick she’s got up her sleeve, though. she’ll also throw a tree branch on a car every once in a while, causing major damage. That’s not all, during the summer months, some trees ooze sap that drips on cars causing the paint to peel and chip.
Vandalism
There are people in this world that just cannot resist the urge to destroy other people’s property. We’ve all heard about the scorned ex who decided to take their anger out on an innocent car. Sometimes it’s a jealous co-worker, an angry neighbor or someone who doesn’t like the way you parked your car. Other people seem to get a real thrill from gouging someone’s car with a key or other object. No matter who does it, vandalism leaves an ugly mark on your vehicle.
