No matter how careful of a driver you are, it's inevitable that you're going to end up with some sort of damage to your car over its life. Rogue shopping carts, thunderstorms with hail, and careless kids throwing car doors open are just a few examples of the threats your car faces to its paint and body. The result of these threats? Car dents and car dings, both of which can bring down the resale value of your vehicle and leave it looking less-than-new. Toyota of N Charlotte is here to help - check out this easy guide on car dents vs dings, and learn how we can help you repair your car professionally at our body shop.
How are car dents different from car dings?
Let's start with car dings. Dings are the less serious and more minor damage of the two, for sure. They're usually minor indentations in your car's body that are a half-inch in diameter or smaller. Dings usually don't damage the paint or expose the metal of your N Charlotte Toyota, and as such are cheaper and easier to repair because they don't require metalwork or paintwork. They're less visible - they may be unnoticeable in certain lighting - and have multiple causes, like rocks flying off the road, shopping carts rolling, and more.
Car dents, on the other hand, are more serious than car dings. Car dents are usually larger and cover more surface area, and they usually damage the body of your car and possibly the paint as well. Dents are more expensive to repair because more often than not, they require metalwork and paintwork to fix (as well as professional expertise). Dents are also more noticeable than dings and are harder to hide. This type of damage usually occurs because of car accidents or collisions, severe weather (like hail), and more.
How to repair car dents and dings
Now that you can tell the difference between car dents and dings, how do you repair them? DIY repair is an option... but not the best. Car dents and even dings can be difficult to repair on your own, especially if you're not well-versed in the world of auto body repair. Unfortunately, you could end up spending even more trying to fix your own mistakes than if you had scheduled an appointment with our N Charlotte Toyota auto body repair experts.
