Most Common Collision Repairs
A lot of vehicle damage is visible and easily identified for repairs. Some damage isn’t as apparent immediately but can cause serious problems in the future. The most common hidden problems include misalignment, frame and trunk damage, and electrical system issues. Proper repair at a professional collision center is essential because problems with tires, brakes, headlights, and suspension cause many car accidents.
Post-Collision Repair Services
Towing Services
Driving your car to the collision repair center may be OK after a minor collision. Still, unseen damage can worsen as you drive the vehicle, so it’s best to take advantage of our professional towing services to transport your car or truck for repairs safely.
Paintless Dent Repair
When you’ve been in a car accident, your vehicle will likely have some dings and dents. Traditional dent removal involves filler compounds that need sanding and painting to return your car to its original appearance. Paintless dent repair reshapes the metal panel to remove imperfections and is preferable to traditional methods for several reasons:
- It’s less expensive.
- It’s quicker and more efficient.
- There is no risk of the dent reappearing over time.
- Preserving the original paint job helps your car retain value.
ADAS Calibration
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) provide several safety features, including emergency braking, parking assist, blind spot monitoring, and distance control while in cruise mode. These systems rely on sensors that must be precisely calibrated to work correctly. Any vehicle’s ADAS needs calibration following a collision or various repairs, including windshield replacement.
Vehicle Alignment
Misalignment is complex to diagnose using a visual inspection but is incredibly common following most accidents. If your alignment is off, your car’s tires, brakes, and suspension experience extra stress, which can cause more significant problems. Be on the lookout for a few common indicators of misalignment:
- The vehicle noticeably pulls to one side.
- The steering feels wobbly and may be accompanied by unusual vibration or squealing.
AC Repair
Your vehicle’s air conditioner is something most people take for granted. You don’t realize how great it is until it’s not working. If you’ve recently been in an accident, there’s a good chance your AC needs repair, especially if you notice any of the following:
- Warm air blowing from vents
- Weak airflow even when the fan is on high
- Unusual sounds
- Unpleasant smells
Brake Inspection and Replacement
You should have your brakes checked if you’ve been in a crash, even if you were rear-ended. Slamming on the brakes is instinctual when you’re about to hit or be hit by another car. This sudden pressure can damage the brake pads and rotors. A collision can also damage the brake line, and you may not notice you’re low on brake fluid until it’s too late. Be on the lookout for these red flags if you’ve been in a car wreck:
- Wobbling, vibration, or grinding sounds when you brake
- Soft or “spongy” feeling when you press the brake pedal
- Burning smell
Tire Replacement and Patching
Flat tires are a fact of life. The placement of a wheel and tire on four locations of a vehicle means at least one will usually have damage following a collision. When a tire’s structural integrity is compromised, you may not notice that it is slowly losing air, but an improperly inflated tire is more likely to blow when you hit a pothole or other object in the road. Your tires must be in good shape to firmly grip the pavement while you drive. Most of the time, the tread on your tires wears down evenly over time, but skidding during an accident can cause uneven tread wear, making a tire less able to do its job.
Oil Changes
Regular maintenance is part of being a responsible vehicle owner, and our professional technicians are happy to change your car’s oil while it’s being repaired at our collision center. We can also check for damage to the oil pan and gaskets, which is expected if you’ve been rear-ended.
Detailing and Tinting
The Collision Masters of Lexington team know how much you love your car or truck, and we want it to look its best when you get it back. If your car is currently off the road for collision-related repairs, it’s a perfect time to have window tinting and detail work done.
