How to Boost Your Car’s Value with Car Body Repairs

Thinking about selling your car in Solihull? You’d be surprised how much minor damage can bring down the value when you’re selling privately. People look at the damage and assume it will cost a lot to fix, so you’ll find it hard to sell. Whether you want to sell your car or just boost its value, here are some quick car body repairs that will help.

Does an accident reduce the value of a car?

Your car will lose significant value if it’s in need of repairs or has been involved in a collision. If your car suffers extensive damage, you’d expect the value to decrease. But even minor issues will harm the value when it comes to selling because a diminished value claim will still be registered on the vehicle history report.

Boost your car’s value after an accident

Here are a few ways to help improve your car’s resale value following a crash. Remember, if you are selling, you don’t want to overspend on the repairs. At Carworx, we’ll be able to advise you on the most affordable fixes to make sure you get the most for your car.

Make any necessary repairs

After an accident, you’re going to need necessary repairs to make your car roadworthy again. If you’ve been in an accident, our team at Carworx can let you know what repairs will be needed and the cost involved.

We’re often referred to for insurance work, and offer competitive prices and honest assessments on damaged cars so you know you’re not overpaying for unnecessary work.

Consider making upgrades

While your car is being repaired, you might consider some upgrades to boost the value. This will make your car much more enjoyable to drive after being repaired and will help you get the most for it if you decide to sell.

Upgrades might include a new paint job, new trims, or some interior upgrades. All of these can be discussed with your local garage.

Get it resprayed

If our car sustained severe damage in an accident, you’ll probably need a new coat of paint to get rid of all the marks from scrapes and dents.

This is a great opportunity to update the paint and choose a colour that you love. With a range of finishes available, it’s easy to boost your car’s value with a fresh, modern coat of paint in matte, pearlescent, or metallic finishes.

Use the right parts to repair body damage

If your car needs new panels or parts, you might want to save money by sourcing discount parts online. However, this is going to hurt the resale value. It’s always best to source the right parts for your car.

At Carworx, we can source manufacturer panels if you’re in need of replacements and provide expert installation to make your car look new.
