Leicester is well-known for road safety; it was the first city in the UK to have traffic lights and wardens. Unfortunately, it also has the most traffic lights in any UK city, so you can expect to spend time in queues if you travel by car. There are some streets where normal traffic is prohibited, including Thurcaston Road, Charles Street, Bonners Lane, Fox Lane and Cank Street, so make sure you plan your route to avoid fines for entering a restricted area.
Driving in cities like Leicester puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Leicester for all these crucial components.
A car dent repair can involve several tools and techniques. For shallow dents, the technician may use a hammer and dolly; this involves bracing the car with some metal (the dolly) while hammering the dent out. A tool commonly used on small dents is a dent puller, which features an industrial-strength suction cup.
Using a stud welder is another option - this tool welds studs into the affected area, and stud pliers are then used to pull the dent back into place. These methods of dent removal will often be followed by a touch-up of the vehicle's paint.
Many cars with dents suffer from other cosmetic issues and may also need a scratch repair. You can find out more about the different types of bodywork repair in this guide.
During a mobile dent repair or scratch and dent repair, the same techniques are used at a location of your choice. Fortunately, you're in the perfect place to find a car dent removal near you.
