Winter Dent Prevention: How to Protect Your Car from Seasonal Damage

Winter weather can be brutal on your vehicle, increasing the risk of dents and dings due to icy roads, hidden obstacles, and careless drivers. At Autoworks of Nashville, we want to help you protect your car this season with simple dent prevention strategies to keep your vehicle looking its best.

Top Winter Dent Prevention Tips

❄️ Park Smartly – Choose garages or covered parking to protect against falling ice and snow.
🚗 Leave Extra Space Between Cars – Slippery roads make it easier for other drivers to slide into your vehicle.
🛑 Beware of Ice-Covered Curbs & Poles – Black ice can make parking hazards invisible.
🛒 Watch for Stray Shopping Carts – Strong winter winds can push carts into parked cars.
🌬 Open Doors Carefully – Cold temperatures make car doors stiffer, increasing the chance of door dings.
