Keep Your Distance in the Parking Lot

Use Covered Parking

If you have the option to use covered parking, take it! This will provide an extra layer of protection for your car from hazards like falling branches or hail.

 

Drive Defensively

Defensive driving is not only good for preventing accidents, but also for preventing dents and dings. Anticipate the actions of other drivers on the road and be ready to take evasive action if necessary. This will help you avoid getting hit by another car, and keep your car looking good as new.

Educate Your Kids on Car Care

Having your kids practice opening the car door slowly and carefully when they enter and exit the vehicle can go a long way in preventing door dings. You should also teach them not to lean on or play around the car, as this can cause small dents and scratches.
