The Truth About Car Dents: What Causes Them and How to Fix Them
We’ve all been there—you walk out to your car, coffee in hand, ready to take on the day, and then you see it: a dent. Maybe it’s small, maybe it’s massive, but either way, it’s not what you wanted to see. At Epic Dents, we get it—and we’re here to fix it.
Let’s break down the most common causes of car dents and, more importantly, what you can do about them.
Common Causes of Car Dents
1. Parking Lot Mishaps
Shopping carts, swinging car doors, and tight spaces are a recipe for unexpected dents. These types of dings are often minor but frustrating.
2. Hail Storms
Even the toughest vehicles can’t stand up to a barrage of hail. Hail damage can leave your car covered in small, shallow dents—especially on the hood, roof, and trunk.
3. Road Debris
Rocks, gravel, or other flying debris can hit your car at high speeds, causing dents or paint damage.
4. Minor Collisions
Whether it’s a bump from another vehicle or a tap against a pole, these fender-benders often leave a dented reminder behind.
5. Sports & Recreation
Baseballs, basketballs, bikes—kids playing nearby or active neighborhoods can be a surprising source of body damage.
