    We’ve all been there- the dreaded moment you find a dent or scratch on your car. Try though people may, it sometimes seems like banging up the surface of your car is an inevitability. To make matters worse, unlike a cheaply made toy or inexpensive household item, cars are big financial investments.

    It’s only natural we want to keep them looking good and driving at peak performance for as long as possible. Luckily, there are some very simple, practical tips that will save your car from dents in the future. Interested? Keep reading to find out some effective and not so secret tips to help preserve the integrity and style of your favorite ride.

    Practice Safe Driving

    Though safe driving is something that should be practiced every single day, it is especially important to prevent vehicular damage. Large accidents aside, something as routine as a weekly grocery run will provide ample time and opportunity to get a bumper or side door dinged up. Knowing what locations usually present you with the most margin for error is a must. Typically, situations like parking lot driving or parallel parking will leave the room, or maybe not enough room, for problems. With this in mind, try to reduce situations where you find yourself squishing into a tight spot or surrounded by a high number of unknown variables.

    Regular Checkups

    While regular checkups for your car’s internal health and efficiency are pretty standard, so too should be your visits to an auto body professional. The professionals behind Carstar TX explain that many potential road scenarios can inflict dents on your car’s body, especially those that can’t be easily spotted. From larger collisions to fender benders, many types of damage can be inflicted on your primary transportation method. The important thing to note here is to consult an auto body specialist every now and then to keep your car looking fresh and ensure that any problematic damage is repaired quickly and thoroughly.

    Reduce Exposure

    Over time, the weather can do a lot of damage to the surfaces of your car. Though they are built to withstand certain wear and tear, if you are leaving your car out in the elements unprotected, there is always a risk of damage. This is especially true if you live in a location that experiences frequent extreme weather. Rocks, branches, and other natural materials can often be thrown around by high-speed winds during a storm, resulting in dents or scratches. Human or animal interference is also a likely possibility when leaving your car outside for long periods. For this reason, it may be worth seeking out a covered enclosure to store your car in. If you do not have access to a garage or carport, there are alternative options as well. Consider renting a parking enclosure or investing in a weather-resistant tarp or car covering- your car will thank you!

    Check the Forecast

    When it’s raining cats and dogs- stay in with your cats and dogs! This tip might seem a tad limiting, but it can substantially reduce the potential for accidents or injuries. One of the top causes of accidents or damage to a vehicle in inclement weather- so why risk it? By staying off the roads during high-speed wind storms, or during low-visibility rainstorms or blizzards, you are putting your car and yourself in a much safer position. Not only do your chances of being involved in a fender bender or more serious collision go down, so does your chance of sustaining aesthetic or more serious damage to your car.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
