Looks are certainly important when it comes to your vehicle, but some people choose not to repair dents and dings if they don't affect the vehicle's performance. In the long run, however, ignoring these damages can lead to a variety of problems beyond aesthetics.

Though your car may run fine at first, other issues could arise well after an accident. When a car is struck, the paint becomes loose, and may begin to chip away. When the body of the vehicle has been uncovered, it becomes more prone to rust.

Rust can cause structural damages to your vehicle's exterior, as well as to the interior, which is much more severe. Even a minor dent, especially to the hood of a car, can cause serious safety issues.

Even dents that don't look as severe can mask internal damages. Specifically in vehicles with flexible bumper covers, damages may not be as apparent until it is too late to fix them.

Damages caused by long term neglect of a particular issue can be much more costly. If a dent is taken care of immediately by paintless dent removal services, the cost and timeframe of the repair can be minimal. But, the larger the dent is, the larger the bill will be. The extent of damage directly correlates to the amount of time and manpower needed to repair a vehicle. The hourly rates can increase significantly due to labor costs, parts, and difficulty of service.

Day-to-day life without access to your vehicle poses many inconveniences. The longer you wait to repair damages, the longer you will be without a vehicle, and the more difficult it is to rearrange your schedule accordingly.

If you don't take the time to resolve damages, you can inadvertently cause even worse issues, like the compete malfunction of your vehicle. As dramatic as it sounds, unless a mechanic has evaluated and cleared a vehicle, additional exposure to road conditions can worsen issues and render the car useless.

However, since you don't know the true extent of a vehicle's damages, visiting a body shop can be more costly even if the dent is minor. Dent removal services specialize in dent repair without added costs.

By visiting Dent Tech of Lexington, you can avoid unnecessary costs from body shops that take invasive measures to correct any issues. Dent Tech will repair dents in approximately 10 to 15 minutes, on average, leaving you time to go about your day and not worry about your car's drivability.
