1. Serious damage to the body must be repaired at a service station, since this work requires special equipment.
2. If serious damage has occurred, you must contact a specialist who will advise you on the need to replace the parts. If the body shape is not restored, this will lead to that. firstly, the car will not handle properly, and secondly, the uneven loads on the suspension, transmission, and steering will lead to accelerated wear or complete failure of the car's systems.
3. Since many body components are removable (hood, trunk lid, doors, etc.), then it is easier to replace them than to repair them. Sometimes good parts can't be found in stores that specialize in used parts. The cost of such spare parts is significantly lower than new ones.
