10 Car Myths You Probably Believe

Your Car Will Never Look The Same Or Be As Safe After An Accident

A car wreck is stressful for everyone involved. You’re looking at costly repairs, and will likely have to drive around a subpar rental car for a few days while yours is at the shop. Adding to that stress is the lie that your car will never be the same, as safe, or look as good after the wreck.

Luckily for you, this is completely unfounded. Auto technicians are incredibly precise with repairs. If they can’t completely restore the damaged parts, they will replace them, ensuring a completely safe and aesthetically identical car. There will be slight differences — perhaps the thickness of the paint or a not-original part — but neither you nor most car buffs will be able to tell the difference.
