DB It's tempting to glance at a minor bump, decide it's just cosmetic, and carry on. But it's worth checking a few things properly before assuming there's nothing more to it.
Visible checks
- Panel alignment and gaps around doors, bonnet and boot
- Lights and indicators working correctly
- Bumper securely attached with no unusual gaps
- Wing mirrors functioning properly
- Tyres and wheels for any impact damage
Less obvious things to consider
An impact can sometimes affect more than what's visible, including steering, suspension or structural components, particularly if the collision involved any real force. Warning lights appearing after an accident are also worth taking seriously.
Why a proper assessment matters
Even damage that looks purely cosmetic is worth having assessed by someone who can check for anything not immediately obvious, particularly given DB Autos is both a bodywork and mechanical garage.
