A dent has changed the shape of a panel
A dented door, hood, fender, or quarter panel can leave the metal uneven and affect how the panel meets the rest of the vehicle. Auto body work can address the damaged surface and restore the panel's shape.

Overview
David & Sons Collisions provides auto body repair for vehicles with dents, scratches, damaged panels, and other collision-related damage. Our technicians inspect the affected areas, explain the repair needed, and determine whether the damaged parts can be repaired or need to be replaced.
Depending on the damage, repairs may include straightening panels, correcting alignment, replacing damaged parts, preparing surfaces, and refinishing the repaired areas. Every repair starts with an inspection so we can determine the right approach for your vehicle.
Symptoms
When to call
Scratches have reached through the paint
Deep scratches can expose the surface below the paint and become more noticeable over time. A technician can inspect the scratch and determine the preparation and repair needed.
Panels no longer line up
A hood, door, trunk, or fender that sits unevenly may indicate damage to the panel or its mounting points. Misaligned gaps are a reason to have the vehicle inspected before the damage worsens.
A damaged part is loose or difficult to close
A door, hood, or trunk that does not open, close, or latch as it should may need body repair. Continuing to use it can make the damage more difficult to manage.
Our process
How the job goes
-
Vehicle and damage inspection
An auto body technician examines the affected panels, paint, gaps, and surrounding areas. This review helps identify the work required and whether the damage is limited to the visible surface.
-
Panel repair or replacement
The damaged area is repaired where possible, or the affected panel is prepared for replacement when repair is not suitable. Panels are positioned so the vehicle's body lines and gaps are consistent.
-
Surface preparation
The repaired area is prepared for refinishing by smoothing imperfections and creating an even surface. Proper preparation helps the finish cover the repaired section cleanly.
-
Refinishing and final check
The repaired area is refinished, then the vehicle is checked for panel fit, surface quality, and visible issues before the auto body work is complete.
Scope
What the repair includes
Auto body work is quoted after the vehicle and damaged areas are inspected. The scope depends on the type of damage, the panels involved, and the repair or replacement work required.

Can every dent be repaired instead of replaced?
Not every dent can be repaired in the same way. The decision depends on the panel, the location of the damage, the condition of the metal, and how much the panel has changed shape.
Will the repair cover scratches as well as dents?
Auto body work can address both dents and scratches when they affect the vehicle's panels or finish. The vehicle needs to be inspected to determine the preparation and refinishing required.
How is auto body work quoted?
The quote is based on an inspection of the vehicle and the damage. It accounts for the panels involved, the repair or replacement work, surface preparation, and refinishing.
Should I have a loose or misaligned panel checked?
Yes. A panel that is loose, difficult to close, or no longer lines up with the surrounding body may have damage beyond what is immediately visible. An inspection can clarify the repair needed.
