Involved in an accident? Repair and maintenance tips, from small to large damage!

Have you recently been involved in an accident? If so, here are 3 repair and maintenance tips, from small to large damage!

Accidents happen all the time, and usually to the best of us too. From someone opening their door into your car, right up to a full-scale car collision. We have the best tips and tricks to getting your vehicle back into its best condition.

1: Polish to remove light scratches and scruffs

Run your fingernail over the scratches to see how deep they are, if your nail doesn’t catch it means the scratch is on the surface. Simply wash the surface, apply a decent amount of polish to a microfibre cloth (duster cloths work too!) and rub in circular motions. Once you’ve buffed out the scratches rinse the polish and repeat until the scratch is gone!

2: Plungers to fix smaller dents

Yes, it may sound like something out of a cartoon, but this really does work! Grab a plunger (making sure it’s clean first) or anything else with a suction cup big enough and get plunging. Make sure you are being gentle otherwise you may cause more damage.

3: Fixing damage after a collision

After getting into a collision, it can be heartbreaking to see your car with body damage that neither polish nor a plunger can fix. But don’t panic, there is an easy and cost-effective method to this issue as well. Whether it is a paint-less dent from a fender-bender, a scuffed alloy, or even bodywork damage, a collision repair specialist such as Brian Robson coachworks can help. Just get in contact, let them know what you need (including help filing a claim) and they can help you each step of the way to ensure your beloved vehicle is back on the road in no time!
