Should I Buy Dent Insurance When Purchasing a New Car? 

dent insurance dent warranty

A lot of times, when purchasing a new car, you will be offered what is called a dent and ding warranty, or dent insurance, for your new vehicle. Sometimes this is a good deal. You can cover any future damage up to four inches large in certain panels of your vehicle, as long as the paint has not been chipped or damaged or scratched. This type of damage is repaired with paintless dent repair and covered by your dent insurance. One of the things to watch out for when considering purchasing a dent or ding warranty is whether or not all the areas of your vehicle will be covered. Most dent warranties exclude the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar, which are the areas in between your windshield and front passenger window, driver window, your front windows, and rear windows, and then your rear window and rear glass. Most dent insurance also excludes the roof, and all hail damage is excluded from dent warranties as well. 


There is another reason you might want to pass on purchasing dent insurance. One of the good things about having a dent warranty is that American Dent Specialists services all ding and dent warranties in the Houston area with our paintless dent repair. If you have a dent warranty on your vehicle and you are looking to get a ding or dent repaired using your warranty, it is as easy as bringing your vehicle by American Dent Specialists and having us assess the damage. We will call the dent insurance company about your claim and have your vehicle fixed with pdr. Your insurance will pay for it, as long as the ding or dent fits the criteria or limitations outlines in that specific warranty. Ding Guard, Dent Guard, Dent Zone, Ding Zone, Ding King, are all different names for the same thing. They're all dent warranties.

American Dent Specialist has a relationship with all of these companies, and we work directly with them to return your vehicle back to its pre-damaged condition using paintless dent removal. If you do have a dent warranty and you have damage that is not covered by the warranty, we can use the warranty to cover the damage that is within your warranty, and then give you a fair and reasonable price to repair the rest of the damage. Enjoy five-star service and reliability with our paintless dent removal while we remove the ding or dent without using paint or fillers to repair the damage. If for any reason you have a ding or dent warranty and the dings are not covered, we will do everything we can to help you use the dent warranty, all while staying in integrity with our word and our commitment to you, the customer.

If you have a ding or dent that you're looking to get repaired, using your ding warranty, or you can give us a call or just bring it by the shop. We'd be happy to take care of any of your pdr needs. Ding warranties can be very beneficial, as long as you understand that there are many parts of the vehicle that are excluded and there is definitely a size requirement for all the dings and dents to qualify. But paintless dent removal is the most efficient and effective way to remove small dings and dents for your vehicle, while retaining your vehicle's value and putting your car back in its original condition in the fastest way possible.
