What To Do When Your Car Needs Minor Scratch Repair
Scratches on your vehicle are bad for several reasons. They allow rust to form on your car, they lower your vehicle’s value, and they don’t look very good.
If you have a scratch on your car or even a few scratches it is time for you to decide how you want to go about repairing them.
Regardless of how you decide to fix your scratches, make sure you do get them fixed pronto!
Evaluate The Damage
The first step to deciding on which route to take when fixing your minor scratches is to evaluate the level of damage.
Here are the three typical types of scratches:
- Clearcoat scratches
- Primer scratches
- Paint Scratches
The size and/or amount of scratches is another factor in determining the severity.
If you have one small clear coat scratch then you may be able to fix it yourself without much trouble. However, if you have a deeper scratch, a lot of scratches, or a large scratch then it may be best to have a professional do it.
Decide If You Have The Skill And Ability To Fix It Yourself
You know yourself and your skillset. If you think you could do a car dent and scratch repair, but it would take a lot of time and effort then ask yourself if you are willing to put in the time.
