If you’re driving your car around town, sometimes, dents happen. Yes, they even happen to luxury cars like Bentleys. And getting a dent in your Bentley (or other luxury vehicle) isn’t quite the same as getting a dent in a more ordinary car, like a Ford, Honda, or Toyota. So how do you get rid of your car’s dents?
Well, you could remove it yourself, but we don’t recommend that for luxury cars. While it seems easy to buy a dent remover, that could compromise your Bentley’s quality in the long run. It’s often best to leave luxury car dent removal up to the professionals.
Let’s go over these two main options to see how they would work for your luxury car.
Pros and Cons of Using a Dent Removal Kit
While we said we don’t recommend using a dent remover, these tools still have their advantages. These include:
· Low cost: These dent removal kits can come as cheap as $14.99.
· DIY-friendly: If you’re someone who likes to work on their car themselves, you can add this to your DIY repertoire and work on removing the dents yourself.
· Different levels: Some dent removal kits market themselves as “heavy duty,” while others are meant to remove smaller dents. You can choose your kit accordingly.
· Avoids repair appointments: If your dent removal kit works well, it could prevent you from taking your car to a service center to have the dents removed.
However, they do have their downsides:
· Unknown quality: If you purchase a dent remover online, you don’t really know what you’re getting until it arrives. It could be great quality and help you remove dents from your car, or it could be really shoddy quality and make the dents worse.
· Relies on your knowledge: Have you used a dental removal kit before? Whether you have or not, these kits rely on your ability to use them effectively and your general knowledge of dent removal. If you’re familiar with this process, it could be easy, but if you aren’t, it could be more trouble than it’s worth.
· May not prevent repair appointments: If you’re not familiar with using a dent removal kit, you may not remove the dents successfully. Then you’ll have to take it to your service center to have it repaired.
Pros and Cons of Using a Service Center’s Dent Removal Services
The other main option for dealing with dents and dings on your luxury is taking it to a service center. The advantages of this option include:
· Familiarity with your vehicle: If you have a Bentley and you take your car to a Bentley service center, they’ll know how to fix the dents on your make and model because they’ve done it before. And if you’ve brought your car to this service center before, they’ve probably worked on your exact vehicle in the past and know how to repair it effectively.
· Quality tools: At a reputable service center, the mechanics have quality tools and equipment that will fix your car’s dents safely. This is very different from the dent removal kits you can find online, which have untested quality.
· Prevents future dent repairs: When you bring your Bentley or other luxury car to a service center, your mechanic will remove the dents the first time you bring it there. That’s not always the case when you use a DIY dent removal kit.
Going to a service center to have your car’s dents fixed provides these and other benefits, but it does have one downside, which is:
· Higher upfront costs: When you take your car to a service center, you will pay more upfront for their services than you will if you buy a DIY dent removal kit. However, those higher costs mean that you’ll get top-notch service, and isn’t that what you want for a car that you paid good money for? While this initially seems like a disadvantage, paying more upfront now can help your car stay undented in the long run.
