No matter how zealously you care for your car or truck, any time it’s out in public there’s a risk it’s going to suffer a dent or ding. A distracted driver poking at his or her phone bumps it from behind at a light. An inattentive parker brushes against it in the grocery-store lot. A kid bumps it with a shopping cart. Someone opens their car door into yours in a tight parking spot. Or maybe you—nah, we won’t go there. Suffice it to say that these battle scars are a frustrating fact of auto-ownership life.
