The Parking Lot Grinch: Handling Holiday Dings and Dents

The music is playing, the malls are decked out, and the holiday spirit is in the air. But there is one place where the holiday spirit often disappears: the crowded shopping center parking lot.

We’ve all been there. You come out with your arms full of gifts, only to find a fresh dent in your door from a runaway shopping cart or a scratch on your bumper from a driver trying to squeeze into a spot that was too small.

Don’t let a fender bender steal your holiday joy. Here is how Jerry’s Collision Center takes the stress out of holiday accidents.

Don’t Panic: Assessing the Damage

If you spot a dent or are involved in a minor parking lot accident:

1. Document it: Take clear photos of the damage and the surrounding area.
2. Exchange Info: If another driver is involved, swap insurance and contact details politely.
3. Call Jerry’s: You don’t need to wait until January to get an estimate.

Why Fix It Now?

It might be tempting to ignore a small scratch until the New Year, but winter weather can turn a small problem into a big one.

• Rust Prevention: Exposed metal from a scratch can rust quickly due to road salt and moisture.
• Resale Value: Keeping your exterior pristine protects your investment.
