Is Replacing the Front Fender Considered a Major Repair?

[MalachiMarie]

Replacing the front fender is not considered a major repair, but it can cause the car to depreciate. Below is relevant information about the front fender: Introduction: The front fender is installed near the front wheel and must ensure the maximum space for the wheel's rotation and movement. Therefore, designers use the "wheel travel diagram" based on the selected tire model and size to verify whether the fender's design dimensions are appropriate. The rear fender does not face the issue of wheel rotation interference, but for aerodynamic considerations, the rear fender is slightly arched and protrudes outward. Depreciation: Although repairing the fender generally does not cause any adverse effects, it indicates that the car has undergone "surgery," commonly referred to as an accident vehicle. As a result, many buyers, upon learning the truth, are unwilling to purchase the car at its original market value, even if the car's condition remains excellent, as accident vehicles are perceived to have relatively lower safety standards in people's minds.
