Common Types Dents

Discover Where the Dent Came From

We all know it’s inevitable. You will walk up to your vehicle after work one today, or maybe a day of shopping, and it’s there. A dent. Where did it come from? It definitely wasn’t there when you left. What happened? Unfortunately, this happens much more often than we’d like. Dents come in all shapes and sizes. So, let’s examine the dent. Commonly, you will find one of the following types:

 

Sharp Dents

A sharp dent usually occurs when something small hits your vehicle with a strong impact. Maybe the wind picked something up and blew it into the side of your vehicle. Perhaps it was another vehicle’s door. Maybe it was a rouge shopping cart that was blown into your vehicle in the parking lot. When the windblown object hits your vehicle, a sharp dent is usually formed. Due to the metal being stretched outward, sharp dents tend to leave a high spot with a deep “valley”.

 

Creased Dents

A creased dent shows itself by forming a straight line at the bottom of the dent. Creased dents usually occur when something brushes up and drags against the side of your vehicle. For example, a tree branch, bicycle, another vehicle, trailer, etc.

 

Extreme Dents

You would probably know what happened if your vehicle had an extreme dent. Extreme dents usually occur when your vehicle has a collision with something else large and at a much faster speed. Maybe another vehicle ran into yours, or maybe your vehicle ran into a mailbox or tree. Extreme dents can even occur just by a person leaning up against your vehicle. However large and intimidating, extreme dents can be, with proper tools and expertise, fully restored.

Spring Showers Bring Road Hazards

The weather is starting to warm up in North Texas. That means winter is on the outs, and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of hazards for vehicles on the road. As we finish out the winter season and head into spring (hail season) it is important for us to be aware of the hazards we can, and will, be facing. 

Winter Roads

Winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice and snow storm we had recently. Keep an eye out for any new potholes or unevenness that could have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages to your vehicle, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bent rims, and more. 

Spring Showers

If you have lived in North Texas for long you know are prone to spring showers. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces your vehicle’s tire traction and handling. Make sure to drive slowly and keep up with your tire maintenance; this can make a big difference while driving on slick roads. 

People

The weather is warming up, people are starting to venture outside. More people are walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra vigilant near parks or where they may be children. 

Animals 

As people are starting to get out more, so are animals and other wildlife. As you are driving, be aware, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates. They may end up in the middle of the road, so stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters. 

Hail 

Hail is another, and probably the most damaging, component to our North Texas spring storms. Hail can shatter windshields and leave dents all over the body of your vehicle making it hazardous for you and your passengers. The best thing you can do in a hail storm is to be in a building, not your vehicle. To protect your vehicle from hail you should park it in a garage, covered public parking, beside a large building (on the opposite side from the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle in old blankets.

Got a Mystery Dent? We Can Help With That

When examining your vehicle, you may notice a dent. You may or may not know how it got there. To give you a clue as to what made it, you should examine the type of dent. You can often find one of the following types: 

Extreme Dents

To start with the most obvious, you look at extreme dents. You probably know what happened to cause the extreme dent. Extreme dents usually occur when your vehicle has collided with something else large at a faster speed. It could have run into another vehicle or even a mailbox. Sometimes extreme dents happen just by a person leaning up against the vehicle. However extreme the dent does look, with the proper tools and exercise, they can be fully repaired. 

Creased Dents

A creased dent occurs with something brushes up and drags against the side of your vehicle (i.e. another vehicle, tree branch, bicycle, trailer, etc.) Creased dents show themselves by forming a straight line at the bottom of the dent. 

Round Dents

Rounds dents are, simply, caused by round objects. They usually occur when your vehicle is stationary. A sport ball or a piece of hail could be the culprit. These dents are round and could be wide in appearance. 

Sharp Dents

Usually a small item hit the vehicle with a strong impact to create a sharp dent. When a shopping cart in a parking lot, another vehicle’s door, or a windblown object hits your vehicle, a sharp dent is usually formed. Due to the metal being stretched outwards, sharp dents usually leave a high spot with a deep “valley.”
