6 Common Causes of Vehicle Dents

Inevitably, as some point your vehicle will end up with a dent, but do you know where that dent came from? If you know what to be aware of you may be able to avoid a few unwanted collisions. Most commonly, your vehicle is going to be dented by: 

Shopping Carts

When we go the store, we often look for a parking spot that is far away from any roaming shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping car unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware in the store. Slowly, the wind blows the shopping cart until it eventually comes into contact with your vehicle resulting in a dent or scratch. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that does not always happen. 

Car Doors 

Another thing that could run into your vehicle is another vehicle’s door. You could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot, but your vehicle is always susceptible to other vehicles. The person parked next to you may not be paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Automatic Car Washes

While automatic car washes are a convenient and nice way to get your vehicle clean, sometimes they can leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can get bumped, leaving an unwanted dent. 

Distracted Driving

You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the back seat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. It is easy to become distracted, and you, or another driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to your vehicle. 

Recreational Equipment

Unfortunately, recreational equipment can hit your vehicle even while it is parked in your driveway. Many families and kids are spending more time outside while the weather is warm and sunny. You may even find yourself and your family outside enjoying some recreational activities. As you, your kids, or a neighbor, throws or kicks a ball there is always a chance it misses its target and hits a vehicle instead. All it takes is one bad throw or kick, now your vehicle has a dent. 

Human Error

Often times we are our own worst enemies when it comes to denting our vehicles. Maybe we accidentally pull up too far in a parking space, parked too close to a curb, or took a speed bump a little too quickly. any of these could result in a dent for your vehicle.
