Accident repairs can involve considerably more than simply repairing the obvious dent. Panels, bumpers, lights, paintwork and surrounding components may all need inspection following an impact.
Accident repairs can include:
Everyday motoring can be surprisingly hard on bodywork.
Car parks, shopping trolleys, narrow roads, stone chips and minor knocks can leave otherwise good vehicles covered in dents, scratches and scuffs.
DB Autos provides car bodywork repairs in Stoke-on-Trent for a wide variety of cosmetic and accident-related damage.
Where practical, we'll look at repairing the existing panel rather than automatically replacing it. Professional body shops can use combinations of reshaping, preparation, filling where appropriate, colour matching and refinishing depending on the type of damage.
Modern bumpers take plenty of punishment.
Even a relatively minor parking incident can leave a bumper with scratches, scuffs, dents, cracks or damaged paintwork.
Depending upon the extent and type of damage, repair can sometimes be a more sensible option than replacing the entire bumper. Plastic repair techniques are commonly used by professional body shops where the damage is suitable.
DB Autos can assess:
One dent can spoil the appearance of an otherwise excellent car.
We can assess dents caused by car doors, shopping trolleys, parking incidents and minor accidents and determine the most appropriate repair method.
Where the paint remains intact and the location and shape of the dent allow it, paintless dent repair (PDR) may sometimes be possible. Other dents may require reshaping, filling and refinishing.
The right method depends upon the individual damage rather than trying to use one repair technique for every car.
Scratches range from light surface marks to deep damage extending through several layers of paint.
We'll inspect the affected area and determine what's needed to improve or restore the finish.
We can assess:
Professional repair may involve preparing the affected area, colour matching and blending/refinishing where necessary.
A damaged headlight isn't simply a cosmetic problem.
Lights play an important role in both visibility and vehicle safety, so cracked, damaged or incorrectly functioning headlights shouldn't be ignored.
DB Autos can inspect headlight damage and determine whether repair or replacement is the appropriate solution.
Because we're also a mechanical garage and MOT test centre, we can check related lighting and electrical problems rather than looking solely at the cosmetic damage.
Wing mirrors are particularly vulnerable to damage from parked vehicles, narrow streets and passing traffic.
Depending upon what's damaged, the problem could involve the:
DB Autos can assess the damage and advise whether individual components can be repaired or whether replacement is required. Wing-mirror and mirror-cover repair is a recognised part of professional cosmetic bodywork repair.
Bodywork repair isn't finished simply because the dent has disappeared.
The repaired area also needs to look right alongside the surrounding vehicle.
Depending upon the repair, the process can involve preparation, primer, colour matching, blending, clearcoat and finishing to achieve a consistent appearance with adjacent paintwork.
That's particularly important with visible repairs to doors, wings, bumpers and quarter panels.
It's very easy to live with a small scratch or dent and promise yourself you'll deal with it later.
But getting damage assessed early makes sense, particularly where the paint finish has been broken or the damage involves a bumper, light, mirror or another functional component.
Bring the vehicle to DB Autos and we'll take a proper look at it.
One of the advantages of using DB Autos is that we do far more than cosmetic repairs. If an accident has affected mechanical components as well as the bodywork, we already provide a comprehensive range of garage services.
