After a minor collision: visible and hidden damage
A minor collision at a junction or in slow traffic can leave a car looking worse than it feels, or the other way around. For drivers in Blythe Bridge, the sensible first step is to find out exactly what has been affected, not simply what is visible on the surface. We find that taking a methodical look at the whole car, rather than just the obvious dent, saves problems later.
DB Autos handles accident repairs and the mechanical side under the same roof in Stoke-on-Trent. We inspect the bodywork, then look at steering, suspension and lights where the impact suggests it is worthwhile. You receive a clear account of what we found and what we recommend before any repair begins, and we do not handle insurance claims.
After an impact, a crumpled bumper is the obvious sign, but behind it there may be shifted mounts, damaged lights or components that were pushed out of position. A car that pulls slightly, a headlight pointing oddly, or a panel gap that has changed are clues worth mentioning when you arrive. Our job is to examine both the cosmetic and mechanical sides and explain them plainly, so you can decide with the full picture. Blythe Bridge drivers dealing with this often just want a straight answer about what needs doing. The garage is 6 miles from Blythe Bridge.

Beyond visible bodywork, it is worth checking lights, steering feel, suspension and panel alignment. DB Autos can inspect these and explain whether anything beyond cosmetic repair is needed. Early checks matter because some effects, like uneven tyre wear, show up only after more miles.
No, we concentrate on assessing and repairing the car. We can explain the damage and the repair we propose, which you may find useful when speaking to your insurer. We can describe the damage and repair in plain terms, which is often useful for your own records.
We inspect behind and around it where possible, checking mounts and nearby components. Some issues only show on closer examination, which is why assessment comes first. Sometimes nothing more is wrong, and that reassurance is worth having as well.
