Old cars often collect rust, small dings from unknown causes, or have paint that has lost its luster. All of these problems can easily be taken care of at a collision shop. When a door or quarter panel has been rusted, the best solution is often to replace it. An auto body company can do so and then paint the new panel so it’s an exact match. These shops can also fix dings, scratches, and other minor dents so the car looks like new again. Even completely worn paint isn’t a problem for a true collision shop. They have the equipment needed to repaint a car so it looks like it just rolled off of the assembly line. People will gasp when they find out how old a repainted car really is!

Most people think they’ll only need Auto Collision Repair services in Mesa if they have an unfortunate encounter with another car, but there are many exceptions to the rule. In fact, some people may decide to visit a shop like Legends Collision Center even if their cars are technically undamaged. This is because collision shops are also good at doing things like replacing rusted parts, repainting cars, and taking care of dents that came from something other than multiple-car incidents.

Sometimes, damage comes from events that are collisions, but that don’t involve any other cars. If a storm blows a tree down on your car, the damage will need to be fixed by a shop that does Auto Collision Repair in Mesa. While this sort of repair work won’t be as inexpensive as a simple repaint, it often won’t require as much work as the damage from a car-on-car crash. That’s because most cars damaged in storms are stationary when they are hit by a falling tree or telephone pole. The impact also comes from the top rather than the front or sides. This usually spares the car from having its alignment knocked off. Since the roof is usually the part that’s the most affected, the car’s electrical system will usually be safe as well. Of course, the size of the tree and force of the impact have a lot to do with the total damage level, but in most cases, storm damage isn’t as spectacular as what makes the TV news. Check with a collision shop before assuming that a fallen tree has caused irreparable harm.
