The aftermath of a car crash can lead to devastating consequences, both physical and emotional. Before you can even begin to consider the cost of repairs or insurance coverage, it’s important to understand the types of damage that can occur during such an incident.

There are various types of damages that result from automobile accidents, including: cosmetic damage, mechanical damage, structural/frame damage, and airbag/safety belt repair. Let’s take a closer look at each of these categories:
Cosmetic Damage
Cosmetic car crash damage refers to any aesthetic issues resulting from an automobile accident. This could include anything from a dented bumper to cracked headlights. Many cosmetic problems are relatively minor and usually do not affect the drivability or safety of a vehicle—but they still need to be addressed for aesthetic reasons.
Mechanical Damage
Mechanical car crash damage refers to any broken or damaged parts inside a vehicle that may affect its performance or reliability over time. This could include anything from damaged brake pads and rotors due to impact, all the way up to serious issues like faulty fuel pumps and broken engine components which can cause major problems with the vehicle's performance if left unaddressed. Depending on the severity, most mechanical issues simply require replacing certain components whilst some may require more complex repairs which should always be handled by certified specialists in order for your car to stay in good condition post-collision.
Structural/Frame Damage
Structural/frame damage is one of the most serious types of auto collision repair needed after a crash because it affects not just cosmetically visible components but also fundamental parts within a vehicle’s frame (i.e., its construction) Depending on how bad it is, sometimes your vehicle may need extensive repairs on its whole frame before it is safe enough for use again—or your vehicle may be considered totaled by insurance companies if its costs exceed certain thresholds.
Airbag/Safety Belt Repair
In addition to regularly maintained items, cars must have properly functioning safety systems installed for maximum occupant protection during an accident. After a significant impact occurs (like with head-on collisions), all safety components should be inspected for signs of failure and possible replacement needs before returning your car back onto the roads ahead.
At CSN 427 Auto Collision we understand how important this inspection is when it comes to maintaining your vehicle's safety post-accident so our team always takes extra care when performing inspections after even small fender benders!
