You take care of your car. You polish it, you park away from others ... and you come out of the grocery store to find a shopping cart has crashed into it. Or the guy behind you didn’t look as he was backing up. Now there’s a dent in your fender, but don’t worry! Your dealer has special tools to rub out little bumps and bruises, usually without the need for paint. If your car requires more complicated bodywork, many dealers can perform it—if not, they’ll refer you to an authorized shop. So don’t live with that dent. Let your dealer give you an estimate for the damage—you’ll be surprised how easy and affordable it is to make your car look like new.

Google is a great place to start learning about your car, but where is your information coming from? The Internet might be the world’s biggest information resource—but everyone can contribute to it. Unless the web page is from your car’s manufacturer or an authorized dealer, it may not be accurate. Think of your dealer like a doctor; the web can provide hints about the source of your aches and pains, but only your doctor knows for sure. Whether it’s on the web or in person, go to your dealer first—a trained professional for the health of your car.
