Avoiding A Deer Disaster

Throughout October, November, and December, deer-related accidents make up a large amount of the auto body repair work we complete at Kurt's CARSTAR Collision Center in Maryville, IL.

Accidents involving deer are likely to be more severe than the typical vehicle accident, and unlike many auto body repair jobs, deer collision repair requires substantial structural repair that affects your vehicle’s safety systems. Accordingly, it's even more important than usual to look up who you will use to repair the collision damage caused by a deer.

Why is Deer Collision Repair Different?

Many car accidents are minor, involving only bumpers or light cosmetic damage. Even though it is still important to use a top notch auto body shop for this sort of collision repair, the effects of a poor repair are generally limited to unpleasant appearance and diminished vehicle value.

Deer-related accidents, on the other hand, often require structural or unibody damage, cause airbags to deploy, and require repair or replacement of multiple panels. The paint refinishing needed in this sort of collision repair is also more complex, involving blending the paint on adjacent panels to guarantee an invisible repair. Major vehicle systems, like the engine, transmission, cooling, and electrical systems may also be impacted.

Get Your Collision Repair Job Done Correctly the First Time

A lot of the repair work on a deer-related accident is invisible when the car or truck is fixed, so it is not easy to know if the work was done right. The only way you'll discover out if your vehicle’s structure and safety systems were correctly repaired is if you are involved in another crash in the Metro St. Louis area. That is definitely not how you want to test the quality of the auto body repair on your car or truck!
