How do you fix a dent on a car fender?
What's the best way to repair a dent on my car's fender? Someone hit it in a parking garage. I don't want to pay big bucks to get it fixed.

“An easy way to fix the dent on your car fender is to harness the power of heat and cold.
All you need to do is heat the dent with a hair dryer and follow that up by spraying it with some compressed air. The heat expands the metal while the cold of the compressed air shrinks it, effectively pulling out the dent.
If this doesn’t fix it (large dents are tough), you may want to see if it’s covered under your
car insurance
. In the event of an accident, your comprehensive coverage
should pay for it to be professionally repaired.If not, shop around for better insurance at a great rate. The
Jerry
app makes it quick and easy. In less than a minute, Jerry gathers quotes from over 50 of the top car insurance companies and delivers cheap quotes directly to your phone—for free.”View full answer
