Spring Showers Bring... Vehicle Dents?

March is just around the corner. Are you ready for spring? The weather is finally starting to warm-up in North Texas. This means winter is on its way out. Of course, spring brings its own set of challenges for vehicles on the road. As we continue to ride out the last of the winter weather spells it is important for us to be aware of the road hazards spring can, and will bring:

Spring Storms

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

Hail

Hail is probably the most destructive 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 during a hail storm is to be inside, not in 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 of the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle with old blankets.

People

As the weather warms up more and more people start to venture outside. More people will be walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra aware near parks or where they may be children.

Animals

Just as people start to venture out more, so do 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.

Winter Roads

Last, but certainly not least, winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially ice and snow. 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.

However, accidents happen. If you do find yourself in an accident or storm that has left your vehicle dented, call us at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas. .

With our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system, we can repair any dent on your vehicle. By repairing your vehicle with PDR you save time and your vehicle’s finish will not be harmed. Dynamic Dent offers premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance!

What to Look For After a Hail Storm

Spring is approaching. Hail Season. Are you ready? Sometimes a hail storm shows up when we least expect it, and we do not have time to move our vehicle to shelter. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know that sometimes there is just nothing you can do when it comes to damage from a hail storm. Once the storm has passed, it is important to do a thorough inspection of your vehicle to access for any damage. Start here:

Glass

First, check the glass on your vehicle. Check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Look over your windshield, then thoroughly look over your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could shatter while the car is in motion, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. Cracked glass could also impair your vision while driving.

Dents

Next, check the body of your vehicle for dents. You will want to be sure to check the entire body. Hail can hit the ground and ricochet toward your vehicle, hitting it much lower than a direct hit probably would have. Dents from hail can literally be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all shapes and sizes, big and small, so if there is a dent on your vehicle it could be from a recent hail storm.

Mirrors

Finally, to thoroughly inspect for hail damage, check the side mirrors. Are they still there? If they aren’t (but they were earlier in the day), I’d safe it’s a safe bet that hail knocked them off. If they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they have not taken on any damage. Make sure they are still attached with no signs of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you run the risk of them falling off while driving, putting yourself and others at risk.

If you do find indicators of dents on your vehicle, don’t sweat it! Dynamic Dent is here to make your vehicle like new. One of the largest benefits to repairing hail damage, in addition to general aesthetics, is resale value. Our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system can repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. PDR repairs tend to be quicker than your average body shop, and unlike a body shop, PDR does not harm your vehicle’s finish.

Dynamic Dent is locally owned, family operated, and we will repair your hail damaged car with our simple process with guaranteed results. Contact us at the first sight of hail damage to start the claims process with your insurance. We look forward to getting your vehicle back to its former glory!

What You Should Look For in a Vehicle Dent

We have all been there. You walk up to your vehicle after work, or from shopping, and there is a new dent. Where did it come from? It was not there when you left. What happened? Unfortunately this happens more often than we would like. Dents come in all shapes and sizes. So, let’s look at the dent. Commonly, you will find one of the following types: 

Extreme Dents

You would probably know what happened if your vehicle has 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 a tree. Extreme dents can even occur just by a person leaning up against the vehicle. However large and intimidating extreme dents can be, with the proper tools and expertise, they can be fully restored. 

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, trailer, bicycle, another vehicle, etc. 

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 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 outwards, sharp dents usually leave a high spot with a deep “valley.” 

If you approach your vehicle after a long day and find a new dent on your vehicle, now you know how to examine and figure out where it came from. Once you’ve done that, we have you covered! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here for you. We are your go to repair shop for any and every kind of dent. Our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) service is always available to restore your vehicle back to its former glory.

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. 

When the dents inevitably come, do not fear! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here!

Protecting Your Vehicle From the Days of Summer

When we think about summer we think about building sandcastles, enjoying melting popsicles, or lounging by the pool. We do not usually think about our vehicles. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know the heat and laziness of the summer season can bring on a whole new host of driving hazards: 

Teen Drivers

School is out and curfews aren’t as strictly enforced by parents. This leads to more teen drivers on the roads. Teens aren’t very experienced and are still testing the waters when it comes to driving. Teens also tend to rely more heavily on their phones. Parents, talk to your children about safe driving and keeping their phone put away. Also, enforce those curfews! Limiting the time teens spend on the road (especially at night) makes the roads safer for everyone. 

Overheating Engine

The heat of the summer can directly affect your vehicle’s engine. If your engine does happen to overheat it could breakdown or even cause a fire which poses a risk to you and other drivers on the road. Be sure to check your engine coolant levels frequently, make sure your air conditioning is working, and get your oil changed. If your engine does happen to overheat, pull over immediately and call for help. 

People

With the warmer weather comes more people getting outside to enjoy some sun. Look around and be aware of bikers, walkers, and children playing. Give bikers at least 3 feet of clearance. Check, and then double check, for walkers when you are turning and changing lanes. Be hyper vigilant as you are driving through neighborhoods for children outside playing. 

Vacationers 

As children are out of school and the weather is good, more people are taking off work to go on vacation with their families. This increases the amount of cars on the road which increases the risk of an accident. The risk of drowsy, intoxicated, or distracted drivers increases during the summer. Be sure you are not that driver. Stay hydrated, never drive after drinking, and avoid late night driving. 

Tire Blowout

The risk of having a tire blowout increases in the summer due to an increase in potholes and temperatures. Winter tends to do a number on roads and potholes are increases. Driving over a pothole could blow your tire. In addition, hot temperatures cause the air in your tires to expand which increases the risk of a tire blowout. Check your tire pressure often and make sure you have a spare just in case. Having incorrect tire pressure also reduces your gas mileage so be sure to check frequently. 

However, if you do find yourself in some sort of accident, do not worry. Call us at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions. With our Paintless Dent Repair system we can repair any dent on your vehicle. We offer premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Already have a dent? Call us today! 

Start 2021 with No Dents

2021 is nearly here! I think we can collectively agree that we are glad to put 2020 behind us. 2020 spared few from hardship. Many of those hardships had to do with jobs or families, but some of them might have had to do with an unfortunate run-in involving your vehicle. No matter the reason for the dents in your vehicle, Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to get them out. 

Dynamic Dent is your go-to repair shop for collision and hail damaged vehicles. We use the process of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) to repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. 

You may have had a shopping cart roll into your vehicle. Did you recently endure a fender bender? Has a hail storm come through? Our PDR technicians are highly trained. They will use a unique set of tools that are specifically designed to access dents from the backside of the metal panel. After they access the panel, the technician will slowly massage and push to reshape the dent and restore it to its pre-damaged condition. 

No matter how big or small the dent is, if the work is done by an expert, it can be resorted entirely. The process of PDR is no way harms your vehicle’s factory finish, maintaining your vehicle’s value. PDR is also usually much quicker than a typical body repair shop, getting you on your way faster without compromising quality of work. 

When you get your vehicle repaired the traditional way, the workers simply fix the dent then paint over it. This lowers the overall value of your vehicle. Generally, service costs are lower with PDR, and the value of your vehicle is maintained because the original paint job remains intact. Since the process of PDR is relatively quick, you save time and it minimally disrupts your daily routine. 

When traditional dent removal method are utilized, paint thinner, paint, body filler, and other material are used. PDR does not require any of that. This drastically reduces the amount of toxins workers are exposed to, and it lowers the toxins released to the environment, making PDR more environmentally friendly. 

Dynamic Dent is locally owned and family operated, and we work with all insurance companies. A rental car will be provided by your insurance, or us, at no cost. Repairs are guaranteed to be fully covered by your insurance, no out of pocked cost on approved claims with discounts, your insurance rates will not increase for a hail damage claim, and hail repairs are not reported to CarFax.

Winter Will Be Here Soon, Make Plans Today

At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, winter is starting to show itself. While temperatures in Texas don’t usually drop below freezing, it’s important to stay weather aware and take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If, or when, ice or snow find their way into our area, make a plan and follow precautions to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle.

Know Your Route

If you are leaving to go somewhere in your vehicle, you should already have a plan. Be sure to plan your route before leaving your current location. When the weather is freezing, usually at night, ice can build up. Deciding on a plan for your route before you get in your vehicle will allow you to access the roads and find out which ones are clear and which ones could have ice. This will prevent you from slipping on the ice roads and causing damage.

Fog Lights

When fog inevitably settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog, or low, lights. This may seem like common sense, however if you do not turn them on other drivers will not be able to see you, or you may not be able to see other drivers. This could cause an unfortunate collision.

Snow Removal

When you go to leave you location, if you have snow on your vehicle it is best to push off any excess. Snow will gather and accumulate. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Pushing off any excess will help to lower the chance of damage.

Tire Tread

Even in the warm months you should be checking your tire tread, however it is extremely important in the winter months. Be sure to check them BEFORE the winter weather hits. In the event of icy roads, bad treads on tires lessen the traction your vehicle has on the  road and will increase your chances of slipping and crashing into barriers

However, even with the most weather aware and careful drivers, accidents happen. At Dynamic Dent we are locally owned and family operated, and we work with all insurance companies. A rental car will be provided by your insurance, or us, at no cost.

Dented Vehicle? We Can Fix It!

At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we are known for our cutting-edge Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) technique to repair vehicle dents. 

What is PDR? 

PDR is the process we use for repairing dents related to damage on your vehicle. At Dynamic Dent we know that dents come in all shapes and sizes. You could just happen upon a dent caused by hail, a door ding, or even a collision. We want you to know that your vehicle is in good hands.

For PDR, one of our highly trained technicians will use a unique set of tools designed to access to dent, or dents, from the backside of the metal panel and then slowly massage and push, reshaping the dented panel and restoring the area to its pre-damaged condition. 

Why is PDR better than other dent restoration methods?

1. Vehicle Holds Value

2. Any Dent Repaired

Due to the unique nature of PDR, PDR is able to repair all dents and dings. Through PDR’s ultimate restoration you can know that your vehicle is repaired back to is original strength. It does not matter how the dent first occurred. Over time, the dents we repaired will not return, definitely saving you time, money, and energy. 

3. Less Toxins

When a traditional dent restoration method is used it requires the use of paint thinner, paint, body filler, and other materials. PDR does not require any of that. PDR only used the unique set of tools needed to access the dent from the backside and massage it back into shape. By utilizing PDR the amount of toxins released into the environment is lowered, and the amount of toxins workers are exposed to is drastically reduced.
