Removing a dent from your Toyota car can be a troublesome task. It can leave you confused and want to run to the Charlotte Toyota auto repair shop ASAP! You should be able to spot a dent during your daily Charlotte Toyota car maintenance check, too. However, you can save a few bucks and a headache if you accomplish this task DIY style! All you need is a couple of tools and items listed below! Let’s dive in!
Removing a dent doesn’t have to be hard!
Tip #1 Plunger time.
Sometimes all you need to remove a dent from your car is a good ‘ol plunger. But, be sure to use a cup plunger and not a flange plunger. Also, it’ll work best if you wet the plunger before starting the removal process.
Tip #2 Boiling water.
Another method that works really well is to simply boil water and pour it over the dent. Toyota of N Charlotte recommends doing this because the warmed-up plastic should pop out.
Tip #3 Dry ice.
Using dry ice on your sweet ride can get dents out of your car or even a truck! Remember to apply the dry ice directly on the dent and wear Charlotte Toyota safety gloves before doing this task.
Tip #4 Hair dryer.
Also, for all you ladies out there, a hair dryer works wonders for removing a dent. Just put the hair dryer to the hottest setting and blow away! The hot air will make the dent expand and the cold air will make it pop out!
Tip #5 Hot glue, wooden dowels, and screws.
Another method that works is putting the screw in the wooden dowel. Then, you’ll want to use hot glue to glue everything in place. Now, you can use that elbow grease and start pulling. However, be careful not to pull too hard as you might chip the paint away. Of course, if this happens you can visit our Charlotte Toyota auto repair shop!
Tip #6 Metal rod and knockdown.
Another great method to remove a dent is to take a long metal rod and place a rubber knockdown on both sides of the dent and apply a lot of force to pop it out. Keep in mind this will be on the underside of the dent. So, this method is going to take a little bit more work.
Tip #7 Tool kit.
If all else fails, you can always purchase a tool kit from our Charlotte Toyota auto parts store. The will surely remove the dent for you. And, if the dent is still there, then our Charlotte Toyota auto service technicians will make your Toyota car look brand new again.
