Auto Collision Repair Burbank CA Guide

Signs Your Vehicle May Need Collision Repair

After an accident, some damage is obvious. However, other damage may not be visible until the vehicle is inspected more closely. That is why it helps to have the vehicle reviewed by an auto body shop before assuming the repair is only cosmetic.

1. Visible dents or body damage: Dented panels, crushed edges, or shifted body lines may point to related repair needs.
2. Paint scratches or chips: Scratches can expose the surface underneath and may need paint repair or refinishing.
3. Misaligned panels or gaps: Uneven gaps around doors, hood, trunk, bumper, or fenders can indicate hidden damage.
4. Unusual noises after impact: Rattles, rubbing sounds, or loose parts should be checked after a collision.
5. Vehicle pulls or feels different: If the vehicle does not feel right after an accident, further inspection may be needed.
