Low impact damage makes up one in seven insurance claims and no doubt much more goes unreported, so here are some simple tips for minimizing damage in a car park. Choose carefully where you park, as parking next to a large vehicle or a two-door coupe may be asking for trouble from door openings. Watch out for parking spaces with poles or bollards in front. Take note of aligning your car with the vehicle beside to avoid parking too far forward. If it is a tight spot, then consider pulling in the mirrors, which most cars now allow for. Be sure to park as central as possible and if an adjacent car is already near the line, then perhaps choose another spot. If parking forward into a wall, turn your headlights on to gauge the distance as you slowly approach and don't be afraid to get out and double check. For those who love their car, park way down the end on your own for peace of mind and enjoy some extra exercise. If you have damaged your car, give Touch Up Guys a call and we can come and help you assess the damage.
