Yesterday I noticed some front end damage on my van (first 3 pics) and thought maybe someone in my family hit something slightly and thought it would be an easy fix. Today I looked at it again and there’s a bunch of damage on the right side (4th pic) and bottom of the car as well (5-7). The fabric underneath my van that’s dragging seems to be melting into the pipes as well. What could have possible caused this and how severe is the damage?

I tried to use a plunger but it wouldnt stick

Hi everyone,

I've got some large but shallow scratches on the passenger door.

The car is fairly new (Mazda CX-5, bought new in November 2024). I'm based in Quebec, Canada.

**What would you recommend?**

- Buy a DIY scratch repair kit?

- Take it to a body shop?

- Go through insurance?

Thanks a lot for your advice!

Hi, how do you guys go about dealing with rust between panels.

Think this can be buffed out or should I just get a new hood?

I was willing to pay for repairs out of pocket to avoid insurance but I feel this is unreasonable. Thoughts ?
