Colorado winter weather can cause auto body damage for your vehicle. Slippery roads can lead to fender benders. Excess dirt and debris on the roads can cause chips and other damage to the paint. At Rallye Coach Works, we offer auto body repairs and damage prevention. As Denver’s expert auto body repair shop, we’re here to keep your car looking great throughout the year!
Tips to Avoid Winter Auto Body Damage
While we can’t keep your vehicle safe from all damage, we do offer tips to minimize the impact of winter weather on your car. Follow our expert advice to protect your vehicle.
Dent Removal Service
If your car experiences damage in a collision, schedule repairs quickly. Leaving dents unrepaired can lead to rust and additional paint chipping. Our expert technicians use the most effective methods and tools to remove dents and touch up the paint.
Clear Bra Installation
Our clear bra installation service is an excellent way to protect your car’s paint job during the winter months. A clear bra covers the vehicle with a thin protective layer to help prevent scratches and abrasions that can occur when gravel, rocks, ice, or other road debris hits your car.
Wash Car Regularly
Washing your car during the winter months removes substances that could damage paint, like salt or deicer. When the snow melts, dirty water splashes onto the vehicle as you drive, leaving a layer of abrasive dirt that can damage the paint. Regular washing helps prevent paint damage.
Check Tire Pressure
Tire pressure typically decreases in cold weather. Underinflated tires lose air resistance, making them more likely to skid and cause a collision. Plus, underinflated tires also wear down faster than properly inflated ones.
Park in a Garage or Use a Car Cover
Protect your vehicle’s surface when you can by parking inside the garage or covering the car with a car cover during bad weather. The extra protection will help reduce the risk of damage to your vehicle.
Properly Remove Snow and Ice
Use a soft brush to remove snow from the surface of the car. Also, check the brush to ensure it is clean and contains no hard debris. Wash the brush periodically to remove any built-up dirt that could scratch your vehicle.
Schedule Paint Touchup
If you have damaged or missing paint, schedule a paint repair service. We offer paint matching for a seamless and smooth appearance. If the paint becomes chipped or damaged, the damaged area can spread. Instead, repair the paint and avoid further damage.
