No Collision Too Big or Scratch Too Small

One of the biggest myths in the auto repair industry is that a car that has been in a collision or serious crash cannot be repaired. It is important to remember that the vast majority of vehicles involved in road collisions can be fixed and restored to working order. It is true that certain collisions cause too much damage for the car to be repaired sufficiently but even in this case, it is still better that a trained auto-repair professional has the chance to assess the car and make the final call.

By the same token, many people feel that a scratch or minor dent on a vehicle is not sufficient reason to bring it to the shop to be repaired. This is incorrect for a number of reasons. First of all, most insurance companies will penalize drivers who make a claim without having the correct repair work done, especially if a subsequent accident should occur. Also, failing to repair a dent or scratch on your car can impact the resale value of your vehicle and could prove dangerous in the long run. It may only look like a small dent on the outside but it may have compromised an underlying safety feature in the car, resulting in your vehicle being unsafe to be on the road. This endangers you, your family and other road users.
