Five Cars You SHOULD Park Next To

five cars you should park next to

In last week’s blog, we discussed the five cars should you not park next to in a parking lot in order to avoiding needing dent removal! This week lets discuss the five cars that are always a safe beat to park next to and keep your vehicle door ding free! 

1.     The Smart Car – these cars are tiny and therefore the doors are short which means the chance of them dinging your ride is less likely.

2.     A motorcycle – for obvious reasons there is no chance or damage that would need our pdr services here!

3.     High End Luxury vehicles – the owners of these vehicles definitely don’t want any damage to their luxury vehicle, so they are almost always very conscious of not dinging other people’s vehicles when in a parking lot. 

4.     The 4-door Mini Cooper – why the four door your ask? For a small car, the doors of the two-door version are surprisingly long but in the four-door model the doors are short and will keep your car safer when parked next to this Mini Cooper. 

5.     Tesla Model X – We’ve all seen those awesome bat-wing style doors on the Tesla Model X. There is no way for that set up to cause a door ding. 

In addition to seeking out vehicles of this sort when parking in the parking lot, here are a few other great ways to protect your investment:

1.     When possible, park next to a median. This protects at least one side of your car from door dings completely.

2.     Parallel park whenever possible. Most people avoid parallel parking like the plague. You should, however, welcome the opportunity if your goal is to avoid dents and dings. It eliminates the possibility of neighboring cars banging their doors into yours. 

3.     Park it alone. This strategy has the added benefit of getting your steps is as you will most likely be parking further away from the destination but with no other cars parked next to you, your vehicle will be safe from any parking lot damage that would have you calling American Dent Specialists for dent removal.


ABSOLUTELY IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD EVER PARK NEXT TO A VEHICLE WITH THIS STICKER:
