How To Protect Your Car From Dents These Holidays

The Holidays are usually a wonderful time of the year. You get to spend time with friends and family, and it usually involves quite a bit of shopping. Unfortunately, this puts your car at major risk of being dented! Whether it’s a stray shopping cart, overcrowded parking lots with careless drivers, or lugging around oversized items after a big shopping trip, it can be tough to protect your car from dents.

This guide will give you some tips on how to protect your car from dents these holidays and where to get the best Brisbane paintless dent removal services if you already have a ding on your vehicle.

Park Away from Other Vehicles
One of the most effective strategies to keep your vehicle safe from careless drivers and runaway shopping carts is to park it far away from other vehicles. If you’re going on a shopping trip and see that the lot is quite crowded, do your car a favor and park at the end of the lot where no one else has thought to go.

Sure, you might have to walk a little bit further to get to where you’re going, but this is the most guaranteed way to keep your car from getting any more dings or dents. Think about it – almost everyone is constantly scouring the parking lot to get the closest spot near the door. This means that you have a good chance of finding an open spot quicker if you go to the back where no one wants to park anyway.

Those extra two minutes of walking can make the difference between keeping your paint job spotless, to coming back to a vehicle covered with door dings and damage.

This may not always be possible, though, so if you do get stuck parking in the only tight space available and end up with a dent, don’t worry. You can invest in Brisbane paintless dent removal services like PDR 2U who can make your car look brand new!

Choosing The Right Paintless Dent Repair Technician

When choosing a Dent Repair technician, it is important to consider whether the technician you choose is capable of repairing your dents to the highest possible standard.

This photo (above) was taken while repairing a hail damaged car for a customer. It highlights two dents. The first dent at the top of the image was created by a hailstone in a recent storm. The other dent, at the bottom of the photo, is an attempted repair by another Paintless Dent Repair technician. The poorly completed repair shows the damage that an inexperienced technician can do to a vehicle’s panel. If it was repaired properly, the panel would have been restored to its original condition, leaving no traceof the dent.

Repairing dents In Your Car Yourself – Should You?

You may have seen videos on the internet of “hacks”, showing people repairing dents in their cars themselves using no more than a bucket of hot water, dry ice or a set of cheap tools they purchased online. While these techniques may seem like easy and cheap ways to repair dents, please remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

The first and most common alternative to using a highly trained technician that we regularly hear about from customers is that they purchase their own tool kit online and try to fix their dents themselves. This usually ends in disaster as they end up with damage worse than they had when they started! Late night infomercials and online ads promise amazing results, but they fail to show the damage left behind when an untrained enthusiast tries to repair a dent with basic tools. In contrast, when a professional Paintless Dent Repair technician repairs your dents, their trained eye and comprehensive knowledge about how to manipulate panels provides a precise result. Furthermore, a trained dent technician is able to use tools and techniques far beyond what comes in a repair kit ordered online, ensuring your dent is repaired properly and completely.

Many customers also try pouring boiling water over their dents or placing dry ice on them to push their dents out themselves. While these techniques may sometimes work for removing very large dents from plastic panels, they are not recommended for smaller dents or dents in metal panels. These types of dents are more difficult to fix and required a trained professional. Furthermore, the boiling water and dry ice tricks often leave behind smaller dents and creases that can only be repaired by a Paintless Dent Repair technician.

Our Paintless Dent Repair technicians at PDR 2U have undergone many years of training and practise to hone their skills. While many people attempt to learn how to fix dents in their cars, few people put in the time and effort to master the art. When you have your dents repaired with PDR 2U, you can rest assured you will be receiving a professional service carried out by a highly trained technician. Furthermore, all Paintless Dent Repairs come with a lifetime guarantee.

PDR 2U offers an efficient and convenient mobile service, meaning that we fit in with your schedule! Our mobile repair unit is able to repair your dents on site while you wait, with most dents being repaired within one hour. Dents can be repaired at your home, place of work or almost anywhere else you could imagine! Our Paintless Dent Repair service area includes Brisbane, Redlands, Logan and the Gold Coast.
