What Is Fender Repair?
Fender repair is straightening or replacing the panel over the front wheels. Light damage gets metalworked back to shape and skim-filled. Heavy creases, tears, or rust-through mean swapping the fender for a new panel. Either way the fender comes off or gets prepped in place, gets primed and painted with base coat and clear coat, and gets aligned so the gaps to the hood, door, and bumper are even. Fender hits often bend the inner apron or push the fender liner into the tire, so we check behind the panel too.
