Car Saints sees a lot of touch up and paintless dent removal (PDR). Purchasing a car that has had this type of work can still be a good investment. Most dealers have vendors, or in house painters and PDR specialists trained to inspect the cars, before they hit the sale lot.
The average consumer, however, must look out for themselves when buying a used car. Is the bumper and paintless dent removal done poorly? To an untrained eye, these types of repairs often go unnoticed, until 6 months or a year down the road. Improper work can lead to paint peeling, easily chipping off, or even falling off when too much body filler has been used. We've seen the worst of the worst, where bumpers and trim are fastened on with clothes hanger wires and body filler and with paint heavily layered in order to conceal the work!
Just another reason why it's so important to have a pro inspect the used car before you buy.
