Can A Car Dent Fix Itself?

It can be incredibly annoying to have dents, bumps and scratches on your car. No one likes driving around in a scrappy-looking vehicle, worrying that everyone else on the road thinks they’re a terrible driver, after all!

The good news is that you don’t have to just put up with a dented car and there’s plenty that you can do to sort the problems out and transform your vehicle so it looks like new once again.

Interestingly, there’s a common myth floating around that car dents can actually fix themselves - but this isn’t something you should rely on happening, even if it is technically possible.

On the very rare occasion, thermal expansion and contraction that takes place when extreme temperature changes take place can cause small and shallow dents to pop back out, but this will only happen on metal (so your plastic bumper won’t magically repair itself).

So, if you do have a dent, don’t sit back and wait for it to resolve itself. Instead, give us a shout and we can help you out with mobile car body repairs!

It’s generally advisable to deal with these issues sooner rather than later, as they can cause other problems if they go untreated. You can cause long-term damage to the paint, for example, which can expose the metal of the car and cause even more deterioration over time.

Furthermore, it also usually works out cheaper to get dents and other such damage as soon as they happen. If other problems start to manifest because you’ve left repairs for months, it will ultimately cost you more to sort out.

If you plan to sell your car in the near future, it would also be beneficial to sort out all dents and scratches, so you can get the best price for the vehicle.

So, with all this in mind, if you do have a dented, banged-up car - give the LMF Smart Repairs team a call today to see how we can help!
