If the fender is damaged during a car accident, you may be wondering if it can be repaired and how. Here are the different ways that fenders can be repaired following a car accident.

Fender bender accidents are more likely to happen than high speed accidents as a matter of course when driving. A fender bender is a nuisance, as there is never a good time to take your car to the garage. You use the car every day and need it, but you also want to keep it nice and have repairs taken care of in a timely manner. A great mechanic can make the process a little easier because they understand how important your car is to you and what issues may come up. An outstanding mechanic service can typically loan you a car or give you a ride as needed so your life doesn't have to go on hold while your car is in the shop.

The term ‘fender-bender’ is a loose term referring to a minor accident that happens to the front or rear of your car. Hard, metal fenders are located on each end of your vehicle to minimize impact when your vehicle collides with another car. Therefore, if the impact is minimal, we should only have to repair the fender and other immediate areas when you bring your car to our service center. The damage on the car should not keep the car from being operational in most situations. However, we do suggest that you call us to tow your car to the shop to prevent any further damage from happening. Our towing service is available 24/7.
