Should you replace or repair a car panel?

When you get into an accident and everything is settled, your first course of action is to worry about what will happen to your car. If your car came out of the accident with little more than damage to any of the panels, consider yourself lucky!

Of course, any amount of damage on your car is frustrating. But what do you do when you have a damaged panel? Call the experts at Marv’s Body Shop! Marv’s has been the area leader in body work for cars of all shapes and sizes.

Marv’s isn’t just a team of experts that can get your car road ready again, we’re educators too. So, let’s tell you about panel damage.

When you’re in an accident, chances are you’ll need body work on your car. But what happens when you find yourself in a place where some of the panels on your car can be repaired or replaced? Here are a few things to consider.

  1. Replacement May Be the Only Option— Depending on how much damage was done to your car, panel replacement may be the only way to fix your car. Panels aren’t there just to make your car look pretty — they provide an extra layer of protection. A bent panel is one that is compromised when it comes to safety.
  2. Repair Work Depends on The Type of Accident — A car dent can be remarkably easy to remove if that’s what you opt for. Dents can be popped or hammered out depending on if the accident was a minor fender bender or something else like opening your car door into a concrete column.
  3. Replacement May Need Paint Work, Too — If you require panel replacement on your car following an accident, your body shop may also need to paint the new panel to match your car.

Whatever your need in body work, Marv’s Body Shop is here to help.  Stay safe out there!
