International Auto Center Body Shop repairs and replaces fenders in Santa Clara. We straighten dented fenders where we can, replace those that cannot be saved, and blend the paint to the neighboring panels. Estimates are free and all insurance is accepted.
What a fender does
The fender wraps the wheel and sits between the door and the bumper. Because it bolts on, it can be removed and replaced in many cars, which keeps small damage affordable. It also frames the headlight and hood, so any misalignment is easy to see.
Straighten or replace
A dent without a sharp crease can often be straightened. A crumpled fender, a torn mounting point or a fender with multiple creases usually costs less to replace. Parts may be new, aftermarket or used, and you are entitled to know which.
Alignment with the hood and door
A good fender repair leaves even gaps with the hood, door and bumper. A fender that rubs the door usually points to a small shift behind the panel. We adjust mounting and check gaps.
Paint and blending
Fender paint has to match the hood and door. We mix to your car's color and blend into neighbors where needed. Because fenders are directly in the line of view, color mismatch shows quickly, so we take extra care.
Fender benders and claims
Many fender benders cost less than a deductible. Get our free estimate, compare it with your policy, then decide whether to file. If you file, we work with all insurers.
