SERVICE
What Is a Fender Bender?
A fender bender is a low-speed car accident that typically results in minor vehicle damage without serious injuries. Think: a bump while backing out of a parking spot, a tap at a stoplight, or a sideswipe in tight traffic. Even though these incidents seem small, they can lead to hidden frame damage, compromised safety features, and reduced resale value. Alpha Collision specializes in diagnosing and repairing every aspect of fender bender damage—making sure your car looks perfect and stays structurally sound.
Delaying your fender bender repair can lead to bigger (and costlier) problems down the road. Small dents and dings can:

- Expose your car to rust and corrosion.
- Impact the alignment of your vehicle’s frame and suspension.
- Lower the value of your car if left untreated.
- Risk your vehicle’s safety systems not working as intended.
At Alpha Collision, we don’t just fix the obvious; we make sure your vehicle is as safe and strong as it was before the accident.

What Does Fender Bender Mean?
A fender bender is a low-speed accident where vehicles sustain minimal damage and remain driveable. Common scenarios include getting tapped from behind at a stoplight or brushing against another car while parking. Even if your car looks fine, underlying damage could compromise safety—so it’s crucial to get a professional evaluation.
Who Is at Fault in a Fender Bender?
In most cases, the driver who causes the initial impact—such as rear-ending another car—is considered at fault. In New York, like many states, tailgating or failing to maintain a safe distance is typically a sign of liability. Alpha Collision can assist with insurance claims and provide expert documentation to support your case.
