If the outside of your car gets damaged, you may need a professional to fix it. Even if the damage is small, you might need special tools and information to get your car back to how it was before. There are, however, some fixes that are harder than others. Here's a list of the most common car body repairs, in order of how easy they are to fix. Dent Repairs: A method called "paintless dent removal" is used to fix these dents, which can be as small as a flaw or as big as a baseball. To get rid of the hole, the material is carefully reshaped while the body is pulled back into place. You don't have to paint, fill, or sand it. The skilled worker moves the body without making any changes to the paint job. Car painting: When a car is damaged, it often needs to have parts of its metal repainted. A small fender dent doesn't require extensive repairs, but a significant collision can necessitate a full overhaul. After small flaws and scratches are fixed, pros paint over the...

There isn’t a plastic too complex that the Bumpa Man team cannot repair. Did you know that many modern cars are now comprised of up to 50% plastic? As cars evolve, manufacturers have increased the use of plastic in more parts on the vehicle. The increased use of these plastics has large positives for the consumer as it decreases the weight of a vehicle making them more cost efficient to run.
