Common Reasons Your Vehicle is Dented

There is always a chance your vehicle could collide with something and come away with a dent. You may just be minding your own business at work, or shopping, and when you get back to your vehicle you discover something has hit it. If you know what you should be aware of and looking for, maybe we can help minimize your vehicle dent chances: 

Recreational Equipment

Unfortunately, recreational equipment can hit your vehicle even while it is parked in your own driveway. Many families and kids are spending more time outside while it is sunny and warm. You may even find yourself and your family outside enjoying some recreational activities while the weather is warm. As you, your kids, a neighbor, or people at a park throws or kicks a ball there is always a chance is misses its target and hits a vehicle instead. All it takes is one bad throw or kick, and now your vehicle has a dent. 

Automatic Car Washes

Automatic car washes are a great and convenient tool that you can utilize to get your vehicle clean. However, sometimes they leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can be bumped, leaving and unwanted dent. 

Car Doors

Almost anytime your vehicle is parked it is susceptible to other vehicles. It could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot. All it takes it someone pulling up next to your vehicle, not really paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Shopping Carts

When you go to park at a store, you often look for a location that is not near any free range shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping cart unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware and blissfully enjoying your time in the store. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that is not always the case. 

Distracted Driving

Teenage drivers are always a concern, but really anyone could be a distracted driver. You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the backseat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. You, or another distracted driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to both of your vehicles. 

Human Error

Let’s just be honest, sometimes we are our own worst nightmares. Maybe we accidentally pulled up too far in a parking space, parked too close to a curb, or took a speed bump a little too quickly. Any of these could result in a dent to your vehicle.

With our Paintless Dent Repair system we can repair any dent that comes your way! Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance. 

Where did the Dent come from?

Unfortunately, it happens. We’ve all been there. You walk up to your vehicle after work, or a day of shopping, and it’s there. A dent. Where did it come from? It wasn’t there when you left. What happened? Sadly this happens more often than we would like. Dents come in all shapes and sizes. So, let’s examine the dent. Commonly, 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. Creased dents usually occur when something brushes up and drags against the side of your vehicle. For example, a tree branch, bicycle, another vehicle, trailer, etc. 

Sharp Dents

A sharp dent usually occurs when something small hits your vehicle with a strong impact. Maybe the wind picked something up and blew it into the side of your vehicle. Perhaps it was another vehicle’s door. Maybe it was a rouge shopping cart blows into your vehicle 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 tend to leave a high spot with a deep “valley”. 

Extreme Dents

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

So, if you approach your vehicle after a long day and discover a new dent, now you know how to examine and make an educated guess about where it came from.

Spring is Coming! Here's How to Avoid Denting Your Vehicle

It’s almost March! Can you believe it? The weather is finally starting to warm up in North Texas. This means winter is on its way out and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of road hazards for vehicles. As we continue to ride out the last of the winter weather spells it is important for us to be aware of the road hazards spring can, and will, bring. 

Spring Showers

If you have lived in North Texas for long you know how prone we are to spring showers. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces the traction on your vehicle’s tires. Make sure you drive slowly and keep up with your tire maintenance; this will make a big difference while driving on slick roads. 

People

The weather is warming up, so more and more people are going to start venturing outside. More people will be walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra aware near parks or where there may be children. 

Animals

As people start to venture out more, so are animals and other wildlife. As you are driving, be aware, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates. They may end up in the middle of the road, so stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters. 

Hail 

Hail is another, and probably the most destructive, component to our North Texas spring storms. Hail can shatter windshields and leave dents all over the body of your vehicle making it hazardous for you and your passengers. The best thing you can do in a hail storm is to be in a building, not your vehicle. To protect your vehicle from hail you should park it in a garage, covered public parking, beside a large building (on the opposite side of the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle with old blankets. 

Winter Roads

And last, but certainly not least, winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice we have had recently. Keep an eye out for any new potholes, or unevenness that could have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages to your vehicle, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bents rims, and more. Avoid if you can. 

However, if you do find yourself in an accident or storm that has left your vehicle dented, call us at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas. 

With our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system, we can repair any dent on your vehicle. By repairing your vehicle with PDR you save time and your vehicle’s finish will not be harmed. Dynamic Dent offers premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs.

Here we go, 2022! Let's Live Dent-Free!

Whew! We made it! So long, 2021! Here we go, 2022! We know this is the time of year people are often making goals and predictions for the new year. Well, we have a goal for you: be dent-free! Unfortunately, you may have had a collision or fender bender involving your vehicle. However, you have no reason to worry. Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to sort it out and help you be on your way to dent-free living! 

Dynamic Dent is your go-to repair shop for collision and hail damaged vehicles. We use the process of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) to repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. 

Has a hail storm recently come through? Slid on ice? Did you recently endure a fender bender? Maybe a shopping cart rolled into your vehicle. Our PDR technicians are highly trained. They will use a unique set of tools that are specifically designed to access dents from the backside of the metal panel. After they access the panel, the technician will slowly massage and push to reshape the dent and restore it to its pre-damaged condition. 

No matter how big or small the dent is, if the work is done by an expert, it can be restored entirely. The process of PDR in no way harms your vehicle’s factory finish, maintaining your vehicle’s value. PDR is also usually much quicker than a typical body repair shop, getting you on your way faster without compromising quality of work. 

When you get your vehicle repaired the traditional way, the workers simply fix the dent then paint over it. This lowers the overall value of your vehicle. Generally, service costs are lower with PDR, and the value of your vehicle is maintained because the original paint job remains intact. Since the process of PDR is relatively quick, you save time and it minimally disrupts your daily routine. 

When traditional dent removal methods are utilized, paint thinner, paint, body filler, and other materials are used. PDR does not require any of that. This drastically reduces the amount of toxins workers are exposed to, and it lowers the toxins released into the environment, making PDR more environmentally friendly. 

Dynamic Dent is locally owned and family operated, and we work with all insurance companies. A rental car will be provided by your insurance, or us, at no cost. Repairs are guaranteed to be fully covered by your insurance, no out of pocket cost on approved claims with discounts, your insurance rates will not increase for a hail damage claim, and hail repairs are not reported to CarFax. 

Dynamic Dent offers premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance! We look forward to working with you to make 2022 a dent-free year! 

Is Your Vehicle Ready for Winter?

We’ve had a few bouts of cooler weather in North Texas, but we all know there is more coming. Temperatures don’t usually drop below freezing, but at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, we know it is important to stay weather aware and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If, or when, the more severe winter weather makes its way into our area, make sure you have a plan and follow precautions to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle. 

Shovel that Snow

If you have any snow on your vehicle when you go to leave your location it is best to push off any excess. Snow will gradually gather and accumulate. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Pushing off any excess snow or ice (if you can) will help lower the change of damage. 

Check Tire Treads

Even when it is warm outside you should be checking your tire tread. However, it is extremely important in the winter months. You need to be sure you check them BEFORE winter weather hits. In the event of icy roads, bad treads on tires will lesson the traction your vehicle has on the road and will increase your chances of slipping and crashing into barriers. 

Turn on Fog Lights

When fog inevitably settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog, or low, lights. This might seem like common sense, however, if you do not turn them on other drivers will not be able to see you or you may not be able to see the other drivers. This could cause an unfortunate and catastrophic collision. 

Be Aware

When you go to leave somewhere in your vehicle you should already have a plan. Be sure to plan your route before leaving your current location. When the weather is freezing, usually at night, ice can build up. Deciding on a plan for your route before you get in your vehicle will allow you to pre-access the roads and find out which ones are clear and which ones could have ice. This will prevent you from slipping on the icy roads and causing damage to your vehicle or self. 

Unfortunately, even with the most weather aware and careful drivers, accidents still happen. At Dynamic Dent we are fix you up in a breeze! We offer premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Repairs are guaranteed to be fully covered by your insurance, no out of pocket cost on approved claims with discounts, your insurance rates will not increase for a hail damage claim, and hail repairs are not reported to CarFax. So, if you find yourself with a dented vehicle, do not panic. Dynamic Dent is here for you! Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance.
