Dent removal for Hermitage drivers
Small dents, paint intact
Shallow door dings and parking-lot dents with unbroken paint can often be worked back into shape from behind the panel, keeping the original finish.
Large dents and creases
Deep dents, sharp creases along body lines and dents with chipped paint are reshaped, primed, refinished and blended.
See dent removal, or read door dings and dents: your repair options.
Rear bumpers and hitches
Backing a boat trailer down a ramp, or a tongue that swings into the bumper, leaves dents, scrapes and cracks where they are hardest to see. A cover that looks only scraped can have broken clips or a damaged parking sensor behind it. Many plastic bumper covers can be repaired and refinished rather than replaced. Read plastic bumper repair or replacement.
Hail and storm damage
Hail leaves shallow dents across the roof, hood and trunk lid that are easy to miss until the light catches them. Look along each panel at a low angle in daylight and photograph it the same way. Hail is usually covered under comprehensive coverage rather than collision. Read what to do about hail damage.
Scratches and paint
Scratches that only mark the clear coat can often be polished out; deeper ones are refinished and blended into the surrounding paint. See paint and refinishing.
Protecting your vehicle’s value
Dings, chips and scratches lower trade-in and resale value. Repairing small damage early keeps the vehicle looking cared for and keeps the repair small.
