Repairs to serious body damage must be carried out in a specialized auto repair shop that has the necessary equipment.
In case of extensive damage to the body, first of all, you should make sure that there are no displacements of panel elements that could affect the controllability of the car or cause increased wear of any of its components.
Due to the fact that most of the body elements (hood, fenders, etc.) are separate components that can be replaced individually, and replacing them in the event of serious damage does not seem advisable. It is often much more reasonable and economical to find a suitable replacement element, which can be found not only in auto parts stores, but also in car junkyards, which naturally allows you to significantly reduce costs.
