fixing up an ugly, beat up car

A car wreck can inflict the worst damage to your vehicle. You may be left with a car that has a crushed roof or hood, a crumpled back end, and a windshield and mirrors that are shattered beyond repair. 

You do not have to scrap your car because it has been involved in a serious car wreck, however. Instead, you can take it to a professional auto body shop to undergo in-depth body shop services designed to restore it.

Replacing Broken Glass

Even the most minor of car accidents can leave your vehicle with a shattered windshield or chipped or cracked mirrors and windows. You cannot legally drive with your car's glass severely damaged. This damage prevents you from seeing well enough to drive safely. 

Instead, you can drive or have your car towed to a professional auto body shop to have the glass taken out and replaced. The body shop technicians will carefully remove every shard of shattered and broken glass. They then will put in new glass and seal it in place to ensure that your new windshield, windows, and mirrors look and work like new.

Replacing Major Body Parts

A body shop can also replace parts of your vehicle that have sustained severe damages in the wreck. If the front end is entirely crushed, for example, it may look like it cannot be repaired. However, the technicians that work at the auto body shop can take off the crumpled hood, dented fender, or severely damaged roof. They can then replace these areas with new body parts that are designed for your car's make and model.

You get a car that looks and works just as good as it did prior to the wreck. You avoid having to scrap your car for junk and can also insure it without having to use a scrap or junk title on your vehicle.

Applying New Paint

Finally, the auto body shop technicians can paint and buff your car to look like new. The paint job may have been severely damaged in the wreck. The body shop will use the same color as your car to put on a new coat of paint and then buff it to make it glossy and shiny.

These services are some that you can anticipate from an auto body shop after a wreck. The body shop can restore your vehicle to look and function like new.
