What to Do When Your Car Gets a Small Dent?

If your car has a small dent, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop and let professionals use a suction cup to see if it can be restored. Here is some related information about vehicle beauty care: 1. Car Beauty Care: Car beauty care is considered the "fourth industry" besides car production, sales, and maintenance. So-called car beauty care refers to the use of different types of car beauty care products and construction techniques tailored to the maintenance needs of various parts of the car made from different materials, providing a comprehensive maintenance and care service for the car. 2. Includes the following services: Mainly includes car washing and waxing. This method can remove dirt and dust from the car's surface and also enhance the brightness of the car's surface after waxing, providing a basic "beauty care" effect.
I’ve also encountered such small dents on my own car before—it happened when the neighboring car door hit mine in a parking lot. Small dents fall into two scenarios: If the base coat isn’t damaged, you can opt for a paintless dent repair at a car wash shop for around 200 yuan, where technicians use suction cups and lever tools to push the dent out from the inside. If there’s chipped paint, you’ll need to fill it with putty and repaint, which can be done at a roadside quick repair shop for about 300–400 yuan. Remember to check exposed metal parts for rust after rain—if there’s rust, sand it off with sandpaper before treatment. Never try to hammer it back yourself to save trouble—my neighbor Old Zhang ended up deforming his hood and had to redo the entire panel. When parking, try to choose a spot near a pillar to minimize the risk of scratches.
