Fender Repair

A “fender bender” is a common colloquial term for a minor traffic collision, but do you know what a vehicle’s fender actually is? Or the role it plays in keeping you and your passengers safe? Fender damage is common in collisions, especially if you’ve been rear ended, so you want to have them repaired or replaced as soon as possible after an accident. Get back on the road fast by trusting your vehicle’s fender repairs to the certified service technicians at Garber Collision Center of Saginaw.

So what is a fender? The fender is the curved panel that extends from your vehicle’s bumper to the door, framing the wheel and wheel wells. It may be easy to overlook but the fender keeps dirt, sand, mud, rocks, and other debris from damaging your vehicle’s paint, braking system, engine components, and so much more. When the fender becomes damaged in either an accident with another vehicle or from an object colliding with it, it becomes harder for the fender to keep debris away from important components and could lead to even more issues in the future.

Fenders that have only sustained minor damage can usually be repaired rather than fully replaced. Repairing the fender is both faster and cheaper than replacing it, making it the perfect choice for minor cosmetic scratches, dents, and dings. As long as your vehicle’s structural integrity is undamaged, we can pop a dent out or fill a scratch in no time. We can even remove small, surface level rust that hasn’t affected the structure, so you can keep your vehicle looking as good as the day you got it.

If the fender has become damaged, warped, or cracked to the point of compromising your vehicle’s structural integrity, then the entire fender will have to be replaced. Our experienced techs can tell if your vehicle’s fender is damaged beyond repair and will work quickly to replace it with an Original Equipment Manufacturer part for you. We’ll remove the damaged fender, install and align the new one, and then use our computerized paint-matching system to restore your vehicle’s original finish.
