Whether it’s a narrow hedge-lined lane, a careless neighbor in the parking lot, or a gravelly stretch of road, it can sometimes seem as though the world is conspiring to give your car scratches and dents. And while it can be tempting to procrastinate when it comes to fixing the damage, it’s one of those problems that will only get worse. Here’s why you should contact your Porsche dealer promptly to deal with car dents and scratches.
Contact Your Porsche Dealer to Deal With Car Dents and Scratches
Pride in Presentation
As the proud owner of a Porsche, damage to the paintwork isn’t something that you want to see when you look at your luxury, high-status vehicle. With the time and effort that you spend on ensuring that your car looks its best with washing and waxing, it doesn’t make sense to allow minor issues to undermine the overall image that your car projects.
Car Scratches Mean Exposure
As well as making your car look sleek and glossy, one of the functions of the paintwork is to add a layer of protection to the body of the vehicle. This is enhanced by the clear coat, which seals the car against exposure to the elements. However, a scratch will breach this protective coat, making it possible for moisture to react to the steel frame of your car, and causes rust.
Once established, rust will spread and corrode your car further, causing flakes of debris that will graze and damage other parts of the vehicle. Your paintwork will also be vulnerable to sun damage, which will cause fading and leave your car looking lustreless and patchy.
Dents Can Mean Danger
Dents may not leave any visible damage to the paintwork, and if they aren’t obvious it can feel as though they’re easier to ignore. However, they could be masking more serious damage to the car and might mean that the integrity of your vehicle has been undermined. It’s impossible to know what sort of breakage or impairment is lurking underneath, and it could mean that your car is less structurally sound, and less able to provide protection in an accident.
Damage Erodes Resale Value
Regardless of how well your car runs, when it comes to reselling, looks do matter. An obviously damaged vehicle undermines confidence in you as a responsible vehicle owner, and in your car as a good investment, as well as just being less aesthetically pleasing. If you want your car to retain its value, it’s essential to ensure that minor damage is dealt with promptly and before it becomes embedded in more serious problems.
The bad news is that minor damage can escalate over time, but the good news is that there’s a straightforward solution. Arrange an appointment with Porsche West Broward today, where our specialized technicians will have your car looking its very best.
