What To Do When Your Car Has Dents?

There is one thing that you cannot prevent having in your car, and those are dents. No matter how careful you are with your car, you can’t always prevent accidents from happening, such as shopping carts hitting your car, wrongly thrown football, hitting a light post, and other real-life accidents.
​
You may not prevent your car from having dents, but there are some easy ways that you can do to fix them without ruining your vehicle’s paint. With that said, here are some three helpful methods that you can do to fix a car dent.

1. Plunger
   The plunger is not only great for unclogging a drain, but you can also use them to fix your small to medium-sized dents. You simply have to push and pull the plunger on the affected area until it pops out. But make sure you are using a plunger for sinks and not for toilet bowls.
   
   
2. Boiling Water
   This is a proven method that has been tried by a lot of car owners. If your plastic bumper has a dent, simply pour it with some boiling water and quickly reach out behind it to push and pop the dent back in. Since the heat only stays for a short time, you’ll have to do the job quickly.
   
   
3. Hair Dryer and Compressed Air
   Here is another popular method that you can do by using common household products, you can fix a car dent of any sizes by using a hair dryer and compressed air. Start by heating the dent with the hairdryer, once the surface is hot enough, quickly grab a compressed air of can, turn the container upside down and then spray it on the same area.
   
   Since the cold air will cause the expanded area to contract, the dent would pop out on its own. However, this is only effective on your car’s plastic parts.

Conclusion:
If the three methods above didn’t completely fix your car dent, or if the methods aren’t really useful because your bump is made out of steel, then you should probably take your car to a mechanic to fix the dent. But make sure you have an auto insurance to help cover your expenses for the dent.
