“How Did My Car Get Scratched?!”

These things happen, even if they're through no fault of your own. You didn't plan for it, but you sure have to deal with it. The most common reasons for requiring car scratch repair include:

Debris

Rocks, pebbles and large pieces of gravel can be kicked up by other vehicles and find their way to you. This can usually result in anything from paint scratches to windshield chips, requiring expert paint chip repair and auto glass replacement.

Snow Plows

If you live in Kansas City, you know how winter gets. Fortunately, we have these crazy inventions called “snow plows,” which help clear our roadways of snow. Unfortunately, snow plow trucks can sometimes make an “oopsie” and side-swipe cars parked on the street. You may need car touchup paint or something more extreme, like deep, deep scratch repair.

Hit-and-Runs

Drivers can be the worst. If you've been the victim of a hit-and-run while your vehicle was parked, be sure to speak with your insurance agent and the police before getting your car towed to us for paintless dent repair or collision service. (We'd be happy to buff out scratches on your car ASAP, but you should definitely report the crime first!)

Weather

Hail can easily destroy your windshield, dent your hood and roof, and do tons of damage to your vehicle. The same can be said of high winds and other storms. If you notice that your vehicle took some damage after a storm, come to us for hail damage repair and car scratch repair cost estimates in Kansas City.

Parking Lots

Random shopping carts. Overzealous 7-year-olds opening car doors. Bad drivers side-swiping your vehicle while reversing out of a spot. Parking lots can spell trouble for auto paint. Luckily, these parking-lot mishaps can usually be fixed by buffing out scratches on cars.

“Do I Really Need Car Scratch Repair?”

Ignoring a scratch or putting off fixing paint chip on your car might not seem like a big deal, but it can be! Vehicle scrapes aren't just visually gross; they can also expose the body of your car to rain, road chemicals, and who knows what else, causing issues like corrosion, rust, and frame damage – all of which costs thousands to repair.

Car and bumper scratch repair is far more affordable than fixing a rusted frame, you can bet your bottom dollar. So, don't hold off on getting that tiny scrape or ding taken care of.
