DB Damaging your car is never welcome, but what you do next can make a real difference to how straightforward the repair turns out to be.
Immediate steps
- Check the vehicle is safe to drive if you're away from home
- Take photos of the damage from a few angles
- Note how and where the damage happened
- Exchange details if another vehicle or driver was involved
- Avoid attempting DIY repairs on anything beyond the superficial
Getting it assessed
Rather than guessing at the cost or the right repair method, it's worth having the damage properly assessed. A body shop can tell you whether a panel can be repaired or needs replacing, and whether the damage is purely cosmetic or might affect anything mechanical.
Don't leave it too long
Small damage left untreated, particularly where the paint has been broken, can lead to further problems such as corrosion. Getting it looked at sooner rather than later usually keeps the repair simpler.
DB Autos can assess bodywork damage and explain your options clearly. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
