It doesn’t matter what type of collision it was—any sort of impact to your car can cause serious damage. Even minor, low-speed impacts into a utility pole can cause problems that you can’t detect with a visual check. It’s crucial to bring your car to an auto body shop after any collision, even if it seems to be fine. One of the components the technician will check is the brakes. If your brakes were damaged in the collision and aren’t fixed right away, you may find yourself in another, more serious crash.
Auto collision centers also examine the steering, alignment, and suspension systems. Damage to these systems is difficult to spot, but it can compromise the safety of the driver and passengers. Similarly, the engine or fluid lines may sustain damage. If it’s not fixed, the engine may sustain further damage or fail entirely, leaving you stranded.
