Ah yes, the holidays. That magical time of year when everything smells like cinnamon, your relatives start texting, “What are you bringing to the potluck?” and your car suddenly decides it’s time to look like it just finished a demolition derby in a mall parking lot.

And the worst part? You didn’t even hit anything.
Maybe you brushed up against a rogue shopping cart. Maybe some mysterious child left a sticky handprint AND a dent while retrieving a rogue Nerf dart. Or maybe—and hear me out here—you’ve just been ignoring that scratch since July because, and I quote, “It gives my car character.”

Well, it’s time. Time for a pre-holiday car makeover, courtesy of the collision repair pros at Edmonds Autobody. Because your relatives are already judging your life choices. Don’t give them ammo with a banged-up bumper.

Why Your Car Deserves a Holiday Glow-Up Too

The holidays are full of photos. You’ll be in them. Your house will be in them. And yes—your car, parked in front of Aunt Linda’s, will definitely be in them. Don’t let it show up looking like it just rolled through a hedge maze and lost.

Let’s be real for a second:

• You’re visiting family. You want to arrive, not limp into the driveway.

• You’re picking up people from the airport. You don’t want to explain the dent again.

• You’re driving your boss to the company holiday party. They already think you’re barely holding it together. Let’s not confirm it with a scratched-up rear panel.

This season, your car should sparkle like the top of a Christmas tree, not look like it got attacked by one.

Paint Scratches: The Silent Confidence Killer

You know that feeling when someone compliments your outfit and you immediately remember the giant coffee stain you forgot was there? That’s what having visible paint scratches feels like—except worse, because your car is way more expensive than that sweater.

And Edmonds in the fall? It’s a haven for paint damage:

• Rain washes dirt and debris across your vehicle like it’s being sandpapered.

• Wind throws leaves, sticks, and “mystery organic material” at you.

• Holiday traffic increases your odds of random door dings by 800%.

You deserve better. Your auto paint deserves better. And your neighbors? They definitely deserve not to be blinded by that patch of exposed primer catching the sun at just the right angle.

Dents: When “Oops” Turns Into “How Much?”

Listen, dents happen. It’s practically a rite of passage in the Edmonds Trader Joe’s parking lot. But if you're rolling into Thanksgiving with a dent the size of a turkey, it's time to get that handled.

Left untreated, even small dents can:

• Expose the metal under your paint

• Lead to rust (which, by the way, is not festive)

• Spread paint damage and make repairs more expensive down the line

So unless you want your vehicle’s resale value to join the cranberry sauce in the “nobody wants it” category, get those dent repairs done now.
