A scraped bumper or dented body panel does not always need to be replaced. Depending on the material, location and severity of the damage, repairing an existing component may restore its appearance while avoiding the need for a new part. Got Fender Bender, an independently operated auto body repair business in Bellevue, Washington, makes environmentally conscious practices part of its approach to affordable minor collision repair.
The company says it recycles wherever possible and uses recycled and remanufactured auto parts when appropriate. This approach connects two concerns that matter after a minor collision: the cost of restoring a vehicle and the amount of material that may be discarded during the repair process.
Understanding what repair-first methods can accomplish, where they have limitations and how to choose a suitable shop can help drivers make informed decisions about their damaged vehicles.
