A panel is dented or creased
A dented door, fender, quarter panel or hood can affect more than the appearance of the vehicle. An inspection helps determine whether the panel can be repaired or whether replacement is needed.

Overview
D-Fenders Collisions provides auto body repair for foreign and domestic vehicles in Tempe, Arizona. Auto body technicians inspect the damaged area, identify the body panels and attachments that need attention, and explain the repair work before getting started.
The work may involve repairing or replacing damaged panels, restoring panel alignment, and refinishing repaired areas so the vehicle can be put back together correctly. The repair approach depends on the vehicle and the damage, so the first step is an inspection rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.
Good to know
When to call
Gaps between panels look uneven
Uneven gaps around a door, hood, trunk or fender can indicate that a panel or its mounting points have shifted. The vehicle should be checked before the area is refinished or reassembled.
Paint is damaged with the body panel
Scratches, peeling paint and exposed areas after a collision can leave the panel vulnerable to further damage. Auto body repair addresses the underlying panel condition before the surface is refinished.
The vehicle has collision damage
Even damage that looks limited to one exterior area may involve nearby panels, fasteners or supports. Bringing the vehicle in for an assessment gives the auto body technicians a chance to document what needs repair.
