Common Reasons Your Vehicle is Dented

There is always a chance your vehicle could collide with something and come away with a dent. You may just be minding your own business at work, or shopping, and when you get back to your vehicle you discover something has hit it. If you know what you should be aware of and looking for, maybe we can help minimize your vehicle dent chances: 

Recreational Equipment

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

Automatic Car Washes

Automatic car washes are a great and convenient tool that you can utilize to get your vehicle clean. However, sometimes they leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can be bumped, leaving and unwanted dent. 

Car Doors

Almost anytime your vehicle is parked it is susceptible to other vehicles. It could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot. All it takes it someone pulling up next to your vehicle, not really paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Shopping Carts

When you go to park at a store, you often look for a location that is not near any free range shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping cart unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware and blissfully enjoying your time in the store. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that is not always the case. 

Distracted Driving

Teenage drivers are always a concern, but really anyone could be a distracted driver. You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the backseat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. You, or another distracted driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to both of your vehicles. 

Human Error

Let’s just be honest, sometimes we are our own worst nightmares. Maybe we accidentally pulled 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 to your vehicle.
