How to Examine Different Types of Dents

It is frustrating when your vehicle gets a dent. Unfortunately, they show up much more often than we would like. Maybe you just got off work, you walk out to your vehicle and you see the dent. It was not there when you left it, but now it is. Where did it come from? What happened? What hit it? Dents come in all shapes and sizes. So, examine the dent. Often, you will find one of the following types: 

Creased Dents

A creased dent shows itself by forming a straight line at the bottom of the dent. A creased dent usually occurs when something brushes up and drags against the side of your vehicle. For example, another vehicle, trailer, bicycle, tree branch, etc. 

Sharp Dents

A sharp dent usually occurs when something shall hits your vehicle with a strong impact. Maybe the wind picked up something and blew it into the side of your vehicle. Maybe it was another vehicle’s door. Maybe it was a shopping cart in the parking lot. When the windblown object hits your vehicle, a sharp dent is usually formed. Due to the metal being stretched outwards, sharp dents usually leave a high spot with a deep “valley.” 

Extreme Dents

Extreme dents usually occur when your vehicle has a collision with something else large and at a much faster speed. You would probably know what happened if your vehicle has an extreme dent. Maybe another vehicle ran into yours, or your vehicle ran into a tree or mailbox. However, something extreme dents can occur just by a person leaning up against the vehicle. However large and intimidating extreme dents can be, with the proper tools and expertise, they can be fully restored.
