Why small chips become royal pains
You see that tiny crack on your windscreen? It’s not just an eyesore. Cold mornings cause cracks to expand, and before you know it, you’ve got a spiderweb across your view. That little dent on your bonnet? It’ll start rusting faster than you can braai a wors.
Cracks weaken safety
Your windscreen helps support your car’s structure. Cracks compromise safety and can fail a roadworthy test.
Dents cause rust
When paint is damaged, water sneaks in and rust begins to spread under the surface.
Scratches: The silent destroyers
Small scratches expose metal to the elements, leading to corrosion.
The costs add up
Leaving minor damage unattended can multiply repair costs. Fixing early is always cheaper.
Parking hacks
Avoid trolley bays, choose end spots, and park under cover when possible.
Minor damage can cause major headaches… But it doesn’t have to! With the right care and quick action, your car can keep looking as slick as the king’s crown and stay roadworthy for years to come.
