Discover Where the Dent Came From

We all know it’s inevitable. You will walk up to your vehicle after work one today, or maybe a day of shopping, and it’s there. A dent. Where did it come from? It definitely wasn’t there when you left. What happened? Unfortunately, this happens much more often than we’d like. Dents come in all shapes and sizes. So, let’s examine the dent. Commonly, you will find one of the following types:

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 that was blown 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 outward, sharp dents tend to leave a high spot with a deep “valley”.

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.

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 by a person leaning up against your vehicle. However large and intimidating, extreme dents can be, with proper tools and expertise, fully restored.

Clever Solutions to Protect From Hail Damage

We all know that inevitably a hail storm will find its way to North Texas. Thankfully, if you keep up with the weather, you generally get a heads up about severe weather heading this way. It is important to prepare and have a plan already in place so you know what to do when you hear that a potential hail storm is approaching. When you know that is is on its way, you have a plan and time to implement it. 

Personal Garage

The most obvious location to protect your vehicle, and for sure the best and easiest, is in your own garage or covered driveway. Your vehicle will be close by so you can keep an eye on it from the safety of your own home. However, this is not an option for everyone. You may not have a garage, or the space in your garage is already occupied and cannot accommodate another vehicle. 

Blankets

In that case you might want to leave your vehicle on your driveway or the street covered in blankets. Search your house for as many blankets and towels as you can then cover your vehicle with them and use duct tape to secure. Be sure not to put the duct tape directly onto your vehicle. Duct tape could leave behind unwanted tape residue in unwanted places, damaging the aesthetics of your vehicle. The blankets should take the brunt of the hail and protect your car from dents. An alternative to blankets could be purchasing and utilizing a car cover. 

Covered Public Parking

Your next line of defense is going to be covered public parking. While you are driving around go ahead and take note of local covered parking. Maybe there is a parking garage at a shopping mall or an office space. When a storm is fast approaching and you don’t have a garage at home that will work, you will know exactly where you should take your vehicle. However, if you are out and about and don’t have time to locate covered parking, an overpass or gas station canopy will provide some protection in a pinch. 

Large Buildings

Finally, as a last resort, keep an eye on the radar and note what direction the storm is approaching from. Park your vehicle on the opposite side of the building. For example, if the storm is approaching from the north, park on the south side. This may not shield your vehicle completely, but you are using the coverage of the large building to hopefully keep your vehicle safe from the worst part of the storm. If the wind is strong enough the building may shield your vehicle from damage completely. 

However, if you find you didn’t have time to formulate a plan and now have a vehicle that sustained damage, don’t worry! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to help. Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance! 

Get Winter Ready!

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

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 our 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. 

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. 

Check Tire Threads

Even when it is warm outside you should be checking your tire threads. 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. 

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 chance of damage.

Dynamic Dent - We've Got You Covered

Unfortunately, your vehicle will likely endure some sort of trauma to it eventually. You could be the best and most careful driver in the world, but accidents are not always your fault. Your vehicle will likely fall victim to some sort of dent. You may walk outside one day and realize your vehicle has a dent caused by another’s vehicle’s door, hail, or maybe even a full collision. However, when that day comes, you have no reason to fret. Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here for you and your vehicle. We will repair your damaged vehicle with our simple Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) process that guarantees results. 

We know that dents come in all shapes and sizes. This is why we utilize PDR. PDR can repair any dent related damage to your vehicle. You may notice small door dings, hail damage, or large dents caused by a a collision; all of these are repairable with PDR. Our highly trained PDR technicians will use a set of unique tools that are specifically designed to access dents from the backside of the metal panel. From there technicians slowly massage and push to reshape the dented panel and restore your vehicle back to its pre-dented condition. 

No matter the size, any dent can be restored completely by our PDR expert technicians. Through PDR’s ultimate restoration you know that your vehicle is repaired back to its original strength. Over time, those dents will not return, saving you time, money, and energy. 

Compared to a typical body repair shop, PDR is usually much faster. We know your time is valuable, so we want to get you on your way quickly without compromising the quality of work. Additionally, dent repair at a typical body repair shop fixes the dent then paints over it. The PDR process ensures your vehicle’s factory fishing will not be harmed, maintaining your vehicle’s value. 

Traditional dent removal methods require the use of paint thinner, paint, body filler, and other materials. PDR does not need any of that. By utilizing PDR the amount of toxins workers are exposed to is drastically reduced, and it lowers the amount of toxins released into the environment. 

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