The Most Common Causes of Car Dents

Besides dents caused by auto accidents, vehicles can also be dinged and dented in other scenarios. Let's look at the most common causes of car dents and damage below:

• 
  Car Doors. Automobile doors are one of the most common causes of car dents. When people in the car next to yours are in a hurry or careless enough to open their doors with enough force to hit your side of the car. By the time you return to your car, the only evidence left is an ugly dent. To avoid this, always choose the most open area of a parking lot you can find.
• Grocery Carts. While grocery carts may look harmless, if they're left at an incline, they can roll with enough momentum to hit your car and create a dent. Unfortunately, most grocery store shoppers don't care where they leave their cart, so it's up to you to ensure your car is out of harm's way.
• Weather. If you live in an area prone to hail storms, then you may experience a few cases of auto hail damage. If a hailstorm is particularly wild, the hail damage can be extensive. The best thing is to always keep up to date with the weather news. If there's a hail prediction, keep your car safe and undercover to prevent or minimize hail damage. The same also applies to other weather events, such as windstorms and tornadoes.
• Falling objects. Small tree branches and even acorns can fall with enough force to leave dents in your car if you're parked under a tree. Additionally, if you're parked under a high-rise building, any object that falls from such a height can hit your car with enough force to cause a dent. Avoid parking under trees or next to tall buildings if possible.
