The 4 Car Dent Types Explained in Everett

Car Dent Types Because car dents are created by a variety of objects and incidents, getting them repaired also varies. Knowing about the different car dent types can help you determine what steps you’ll need to take to have them repaired. Our collision repair center can restore all of the dent types listed below.

Round

The most common cause of round dents is hail. Depending on the size of the hail, these dents are shallow, making them quite easy to repair.

Sharp

What causes a sharp dent? If you’ve ever been surprised by a dent like this in a parking lot, someone may have opened their car door on your car, or perhaps it was caused by a careening shopping cart. Dents like these create a crease in the metal, and are deeper than round dents. If the impact is severe enough, sharp dents can also result in punctured metal.

Creased

If your vehicle strikes an object and drags it along, the result is a creased dent. This may occur when a driver drives past a low-hanging tree branch, or when a bicyclist glides past a car and grazes the surface with the handlebar. Creased dents often also cause scratches that scrape away a layer or two of the auto paint.

Collision

If you’ve ever been in a collision, you know the resulting dent or dents can be ugly and expensive. These are the dents of the worst kind. The faster the vehicles are traveling at the time of impact, the worse the resulting dents. Repairing these dents often means ordering new parts.
