Getting into an accident not only can ruin your day, but it can also ruin your vehicle. Whether it be a ding, dent, scratch, or severe damage, you’ll want to take your vehicle to an auto collision shop as soon as possible. Here are some common types of auto body repair that most people get done.

PDR & Dent Repair

PDR, or paintless dent repair, is a process of removing a dent without having to repaint the vehicle. This is often done with smaller dents that can “pop” out and works best in areas like the hood, trunk, and door panels.

Dent repair consists of two common methods, one of which uses body filler putty, and the other consists of using a special tool to get the dent out. Both these options require color match painting to cover the dent repair.

Body Panel Replacement

If the damage is more significant, then your vehicle may need body panel replacement. If your vehicle has body damage, then you’ll need to have the panels replaced.

Frame Repair

In most accidents, the frame is one of the main things compromised. The frame supports the engine, transmission, and is basically the ‘skeleton’ of the vehicle. Frame repair may consist of laser straightening or welding to make the frame structurally sound again.
