When it comes to auto care, you’re probably familiar with common things like oil changes, brake service, battery replacements, and other routine auto service appointments that you schedule for your car. However, more can go wrong with your ride outside the engine bay. Today, we’re sitting down with our auto body repair experts at our Toyota Collision Center about some of the most common repairs they see and how you can tell if you’re due for them.
Are you due for any of these auto body repairs?
#1: Collision repair
Collision repair basically just means any auto body repair that needs to be done because the vehicle was in a collision. They can run from minor to major, and whether you were in a fender bender or something more serious, our Charlotte Toyota Collision Center has got you covered.
#2: Window or windshield repair or replacement
Ever had a rock fly up and hit your windshield, leaving a ding, chip, or crack? Then you’d be in need of windshield repair. This type of auto body repair means either repairing or replacing the damaged glass based on the extent of the problem. You should check with your car insurance company first, as some of them cover this repair, but never leave a chip or crack for long - it’ll get bigger every time you drive and can be a safety hazard pretty quickly.
#3: Dent removal
Dents happen, and for all different reasons. Dents are one of the single most common forms of auto body repair needed! If the dent is minor, you may be able to repair it on your own at home. However, if the dent is large or appears to affect the car structurally, then you should bring it into Toyota of N Charlotte to have it looked at and repaired.
#4: Paint retouch
Paint looking a little worse for the wear? It could be time for a retouch. Whether you need touch-up paint, a new clear coat, or a fresh coat of paint, Toyota of N Charlotte has got you covered. Don’t let your paint go too long with damage - it can cause rust issues in your future.
#5: Frame repair
If you’ve experienced frame damage in a collision, it’s a big deal - and you DON’T want to ignore it. It can seriously affect your drive time AND your safety. Bring your car in ASAP if you notice things after an accident like your car tugging in one direction or shaking while in motion - it could mean frame damage that needs to be repaired.
