6 Common Causes of Vehicle Dents

Inevitably, as some point your vehicle will end up with a dent, but do you know where that dent came from? If you know what to be aware of you may be able to avoid a few unwanted collisions. Most commonly, your vehicle is going to be dented by: 

Shopping Carts

When we go the store, we often look for a parking spot that is far away from any roaming shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping car unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware in the store. Slowly, the wind blows the shopping cart until it eventually comes into contact with your vehicle resulting in a dent or scratch. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that does not always happen. 

Car Doors 

Another thing that could run into your vehicle is another vehicle’s door. You could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot, but your vehicle is always susceptible to other vehicles. The person parked next to you may not be paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Automatic Car Washes

While automatic car washes are a convenient and nice way to get your vehicle clean, sometimes they can leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can get bumped, leaving an unwanted dent. 

Distracted Driving

You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the back seat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. It is easy to become distracted, and you, or another driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to your vehicle. 

Recreational Equipment

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

Human Error

Often times we are our own worst enemies when it comes to denting our vehicles. Maybe we accidentally pull 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 for your vehicle.

How to Protect Your Vehicle from a Hail Storm

In North Texas we have our fair share of hail storms. If you have not experienced them yet, do not worry, they are coming. Get ready! It’s important to prepare far in advance and know what to do when the storm approaches. In order to protect your vehicles from hail you need to be proactive and know ahead of time what your options are. Then, when the storm approaching, you have a plan and can implement it. 

Garage

Obviously, the first place you think of when protecting your vehicle from hail is to park 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 your vehicle. 

Large Buildings

If you keep an eye on the weather and know 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. 

Covered Public Parking

While you are driving around going about your everyday life, keep an eye out for covered local parking. When a storm is fast approaching and you don’t have a garage at home that will work, you will know exactly where to take your vehicle. Consider shopping centers or mall parking garages. However, if you do not have time to locate covered parking look for an overpass or gas station canopy instead. 

Blankets

As a last resort, locate as many blankets as you can. Cover your vehicle with them and use duct tape to secure them in place. Be careful not to put the tape directly on your vehicle. Duct tape could leave behind tape residue in unwanted places, damaging the aesthetics of your vehicle. An alternative to a blanket could be purchasing and utilizing a car cover. 

If you don’t have time to formulate a hail storm plan and find your vehicle has sustained damage, don’t worry! We have got you covered! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to help.

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.

Protecting Your Vehicle From the Days of Summer

When we think about summer we think about building sandcastles, enjoying melting popsicles, or lounging by the pool. We do not usually think about our vehicles. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know the heat and laziness of the summer season can bring on a whole new host of driving hazards: 

Teen Drivers

School is out and curfews aren’t as strictly enforced by parents. This leads to more teen drivers on the roads. Teens aren’t very experienced and are still testing the waters when it comes to driving. Teens also tend to rely more heavily on their phones. Parents, talk to your children about safe driving and keeping their phone put away. Also, enforce those curfews! Limiting the time teens spend on the road (especially at night) makes the roads safer for everyone. 

Overheating Engine

The heat of the summer can directly affect your vehicle’s engine. If your engine does happen to overheat it could breakdown or even cause a fire which poses a risk to you and other drivers on the road. Be sure to check your engine coolant levels frequently, make sure your air conditioning is working, and get your oil changed. If your engine does happen to overheat, pull over immediately and call for help. 

People

With the warmer weather comes more people getting outside to enjoy some sun. Look around and be aware of bikers, walkers, and children playing. Give bikers at least 3 feet of clearance. Check, and then double check, for walkers when you are turning and changing lanes. Be hyper vigilant as you are driving through neighborhoods for children outside playing. 

Vacationers 

As children are out of school and the weather is good, more people are taking off work to go on vacation with their families. This increases the amount of cars on the road which increases the risk of an accident. The risk of drowsy, intoxicated, or distracted drivers increases during the summer. Be sure you are not that driver. Stay hydrated, never drive after drinking, and avoid late night driving. 

Tire Blowout

The risk of having a tire blowout increases in the summer due to an increase in potholes and temperatures. Winter tends to do a number on roads and potholes are increases. Driving over a pothole could blow your tire. In addition, hot temperatures cause the air in your tires to expand which increases the risk of a tire blowout. Check your tire pressure often and make sure you have a spare just in case. Having incorrect tire pressure also reduces your gas mileage so be sure to check frequently.

Paintless Dent Repair Saves You Time and Money

Dents to your vehicle are going to happen. Make you have kids and they open the door too quickly some of the time and slam the vehicle’s door against something. Maybe a shopping cart rolled into your vehicle. Or maybe you were in a collision. 

At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know that dents come in all shapes and sizes. No matter the reason for the dent, we want you to know that your vehicle is in good hands with our cutting-edge Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) technique to repair the dents. We specialize in outstanding customer service, quality work, and PDR. We’ll have your vehicle looking new again with little to no inconvenience to you. 

What is PDR? 

PDR is the process we use to repair dent related damage on your vehicle. To implement PDR, on of our highly trained technicians will use a unique set of tools designed to access the dent, or dents, from the backside of the meal panel. The technician will then slowly massage and push to reshape the dented panel and restore the area to its pre-damaged condition. 

Why is PDR better than other dent restoration methods? 

Thanks for asking! Let us tell you: 

1. Less Toxins

When it comes to traditional dent restoration methods a variety of material are used, such as paint thinner, paint, body filler, etc. PDR does not require any of that. PDR only uses the unique set of tools needed to access the dent from the backside and massage it back into shape. By utilizing PDR the amount of toxins released into the environment is lowered, and the amount of toxins workers are exposed to is drastically reduced. 

2. Any Dent Repaired

Due to the nature of PDR, PDR is able to repair all dents and dings. Through PDR’s ultimate restoration you can know that you vehicle is repaired back to its original strength. It does not matter how the dent first occurred. Over time, the dents we have repaired will not return, saving you time, money, and energy. 

3. Holds Value

When a traditional dent restoration method is utilized, the dent is repaired and then painted over. This lowers the overall value of your vehicle. In general, service costs are much lower with PDR, and the value of your vehicle is maintained because the original paint job is never messed with. 

4. Saved Time

At Dynamic Dent we could have your vehicle repaired in a matter of hours. PDR is a relatively quick process. This saves you time and allows minimal disruption to your everyday routine.

Spring Showers Bring Road Hazards

The weather is starting to warm up in North Texas. That means winter is on the outs, and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of hazards for vehicles on the road. As we finish out the winter season and head into spring (hail season) it is important for us to be aware of the hazards we can, and will, be facing. 

Winter Roads

Winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice and snow storm we 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, bent rims, and more. 

Spring Showers

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

People

The weather is warming up, people are starting to venture outside. More people are walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra vigilant near parks or where they may be children. 

Animals 

As people are starting to get 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 damaging, 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 from the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle in old blankets.

How to Inspect for Vehicle Hail Damage

We are approaching spring in North Texas, this unfortunately means hail storms. While it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, something it just is not possible. It is important to do a thorough inspection of your vehicles once the hail storm has passed to access for any damage. But what do you look for? 

Glass

Start be looking over the glass on your vehicle. Check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Check your windshield, then check your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could impair your vision while driving. Also, if it is cracked enough, it could shatter while you are driving down the road, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. 

Mirrors

Next, check your side mirrors. Are they still there, or did the hail knock them off? If they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they won’t come off at the next bump you take. Just because a mirror is still attached does not mean it has not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signs of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting yourself and others at risk. 

Dents

Finally, check the body of your vehicle for dents. Dents from hail can be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all sizes, big and small, so if there is a dent on your vehicle it could be from the recent hail storm. 

If you have thoroughly inspected your vehicle and have found indicators of dents, do not worry about it. Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to make your vehicle like new. One of the largest benefits to repairing hail damage, in addition to general aesthetics, is resale value. Our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system can repair any dent related damage on your vehicle.

Why is My Vehicle Dented?

Even though many of us are spending more time than ever at home, our vehicles are almost always at risk of being dented, especially when we are out and about. However, if you know what to be aware of you may be able to avoid a few unwanted collisions. Most commonly, your vehicle is going to be dented by: 

Recreational Equipment

Winter Will Be Here Soon, Make Plans Today

At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, winter is starting to show itself. While temperatures in Texas don’t usually drop below freezing, it’s important to stay weather aware and take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If, or when, ice or snow find their way into our area, make a plan and follow precautions to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle.

Know Your Route

If you are leaving to go 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 access the roads and find out which ones are clear and which ones could have ice. This will prevent you from slipping on the ice roads and causing damage.

Fog Lights

When fog inevitably settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog, or low, lights. This may 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 other drivers. This could cause an unfortunate collision.

Snow Removal

When you go to leave you location, if you have snow on your vehicle it is best to push off any excess. Snow will gather and accumulate. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Pushing off any excess will help to lower the chance of damage.

Tire Tread

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

4 Practical Ways to Protect Your Vehicle from Hail

If you have lived in North Texas long you know we have our fair share of storms, often carrying hail. If you have not lived here long, Welcome, and get ready! In order to protect your vehicles from hail you need to be proactive and know ahead of time what your options are. Then, when the storm is approaching, you have a plan and can implement it. 

Garage

The most obvious place to park your vehicle to protect it from hail is in your own garage or covered driveway. It is 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 your vehicle. 

Covered Public Parking

While you are driving around going about your everyday life, keep an eye out for covered local parking. When a storm is fast approaching and you don’t have a garage at home that will work, you will know exactly where to take your vehicle. Consider shopping center or mall parking garages. However, if you do not have time to located covered parking look for an overpass or gas station canopy instead. 

Large Buildings

If you know which 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 completely shield your vehicle from damage. 

Blankets

As a last resort, locate as many blankets as you can. Cover your vehicle with them and use duct tape to secure them in place. Be careful not to put the tape directly on your vehicle. Duct tape could leave behind tape reside in unwanted places, damaging the aesthetics of your vehicle. An alternative to a blanket could be purchasing and utilizing a car cover.

Hail Damage? 3 Things to Examine After a Hail Storm

Unfortunately hail storms are just a part of life in North Texas. While it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, sometimes it just is not possible. Once the hail storm has passed you need to do a thorough inspection of your vehicle to access for any damage. But do you know what to look for? 

Mirrors

The first thing to check is your side mirrors. It is important to note that they are still there and the hail has not knocked them off. Secondly, if they are there, check their joints. Just because the mirror is still attached does not mean it has not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signs of potential failure. You should be using your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting others at risk. 

Dents

Next, check the body of your vehicle for dents. Dents from hail can be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all sizes, big and small, so if it is a dent on your vehicle it could be from the recent hail storm. 

Glass

Last, when looking over your vehicle, check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Check your windshield, then check your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could absolutely impair your vision while driving. Also, if it is cracked enough, it could also shatter as you are driving down the road, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. 

One of the largest benefits to repairing hail damage, in addition to aesthetics, is resale value. If you have thoroughly inspected your vehicle and have found any indication of dents, do not concern yourself. Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here for you. Our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system can repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. PDR repairs tend to be quicker than your average body shop, and unlike a body shop, PDR does not harm your vehicle’s finish.

6 Common Ways Your Vehicle May Get Dented

We are currently in a season where you may not be out driving your vehicle very much. Unfortunately, dents can happen any time you take your vehicle out. However, if you know what to look out for you may be able to avoid a few unwanted dents. Your vehicle is most commonly going to dented by:

Shopping Carts

When you go to the store look for a parking spot far away from loose shopping carts. However, someone may leave a shopping cart unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware in the store. Slowly, the wind blows the shopping cart and it eventually comes into contact with your vehicle resulting in a dent or scratch. Ideally, shopper would take their carts back to their proper location, but that does not always happen. 

Automatic Car Washes

While convenient, and a nice way to get a break from your house, automatic car washes can sometimes leave unwanted dents in your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can get bumped, leaving an unwanted dent. 

Distracted Driving

If you haven’t been out driving in a while, it may take you a second to reacclimatize yourself to the roads. It is easy to become distracted and you, or another driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to your vehicle. 

Recreational Equipment

More and more as the weather gets better and you and your family are spending more time outside you may find yourself enjoying some recreational activities. As you, your kids, or a neighbor, throw or kick a ball there is always a chance it misses its target and hits a vehicle instead. All it takes is one bad throw or kick. Now the vehicle has a dent. 

Car Doors

You may be parked in your driveway, on the street, or a parking lot, but your vehicle is susceptible to other vehicles. The person parked next to you may not be paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Human Error

You could be your own worst enemy when it comes to denting your vehicle. You may accidentally pull up too far in the parking space, you may park too close to a curb, or you may take a speed bump too quickly, all of these could result in dents to your vehicle.

1. Environmentally Friendly 

Traditional dent removal methods require the use of paint thinner, paint, body filler, and other materials. PDR does not require 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. 

2. Holds Value of Vehicle

When traditional dent repair methods are utilized, the dent is repaired than painted over. This lowers the overall value of your vehicle. In general, service costs are much lower with PDR, and the value of your vehicle is maintained because the original paint job is never touched. 

3. Time Saver

PDR is a relatively quick process. At Dynamic Dent, we could have your vehicle repairs in a matter of hours. This saves you time and allows minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Watch Out for Spring Road Hazards

Spring Showers bring May Flowers, right?! Well, they also bring their own set of hazards for vehicles on the road in North Texas. As we finish out the winter season and head into spring (hail season) it is important for us to be aware of the hazards we can and will be facing. 

Animals

While we start to thaw from winter and enjoy more time outside, so do wildlife. Be aware as you are driving, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates, and they may end up in the middle of the road. Stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters. 

People

As stated before, people are starting to enjoy more time outside. More people are walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be particularly vigilant in areas where there may be children. 

Winter Roads

Even though we have had a relatively mild winter, winter weather can still wreak havoc on roadways. Keep an eye on new potholes or unevenness that have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bent rims, and more. 

Spring Showers 

In North Texas we are prone to spring storms. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces your vehicle’s tire traction and handling. Driving slowly and keeping up with your tire maintenance can make a big difference while driving on slick roads. 

Hail

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

What Type of Dent is It?

Dents on vehicles show up more often than we’d like. You may be just heading out to your vehicle to go to work or the grocery store, and there it is. You may or may not know how it got there. To give you an idea of what could have made the dent, you should examine it. You can often find one of the following types:

Creased Dents

A creased dent occurs when something brushes up and drags against the side of your vehicle. For example, another vehicle, bicycle, trailer, tree brand, etc. Creased dents show themselves by forming a straight line at the bottom of the dent.

Extreme Dents

You probably know what happened to your vehicle if you have an extreme dent. Extreme dents usually occur when your vehicle has collided with something else large and at a faster speed. Your vehicle could have run into another vehicle, a mailbox, or a tree. However, sometimes extreme dents even occur just by a person leaning up against the vehicle. However extreme a dent may look, with the proper tools and expertise, they can be fully repaired.

Sharp Dents

Sharp dents usually occur when a small item hits the vehicle with a strong impact. When a shopping cart in a parking lot, another vehicle’s door, or a 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.”
