Going To Try DIY Paintless Dent Repair? 5 Reasons You Shouldn't


If you're like most people, you probably try to avoid dealing with the hassle of submitting an insurance claim. This is especially true if the damage is minor - like a small ding or dent. Many car owners try to fix these problems themselves by using DIY paintless dent removal methods. However, this is rarely a good idea. In this blog post, we will discuss 5 reasons why you should not attempt DIY auto body repair.




First of all, DIY auto body repair can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. You could end up causing more damage to your car - or even injuring yourself.




Second, most people do not have the necessary skills or tools to properly fix a dent or ding. This means that you're likely to make the problem worse - or even damage your car beyond repair.




Third, using DIY methods for paintless dent removal can actually void your car's warranty. If something goes wrong and you need to take your car in for repairs, the manufacturer may not cover the cost if they find out that you tried to fix it yourself.




Fourth, attempting DIY auto body repair is often a waste of time and money. You're likely to end up with a car that still looks damaged - and you may even cause more damage in the process.




Finally, submitting an insurance claim for small damages can actually save you money in the long run. Your rates will not skyrocket after filing a claim, and you may even be able to get your deductible waived if the damage is minor.




In conclusion, we recommend avoiding DIY auto body repair. While there are thousands of videos online that will try to convince you to try some crazy things with hair dryers or dry ice but in the end you might end up spending more money on tools to fix the problem then you would pay to get a professional paintless dent removal expert to fix your dent and have your vehicle looking like new.
