Dent & Scratch Repair for Old Hickory Drivers

Old Hickory drivers, from lakeside streets to Old Hickory Boulevard, bring dented panels and weathered paint to our Foster Ave body shop.

Spray gun applying glossy red paint to a bumper cover

Old Hickory is a historic community on the Cumberland River at the northeast corner of Davidson County, next to Old Hickory Lake. Plenty of residents pull boat trailers or haul gear to the water, and launch ramps, trailer hitches and tight turns at the lake add their own scrapes and rear bumper dents.

Cars parked outdoors near the water also take a lot of sun. Over time UV exposure dulls clear coat and can cause it to peel on roofs, hoods and trunk lids, which needs refinishing rather than polishing.

From Old Hickory to our shop

From Old Hickory, take Old Hickory Boulevard to Briley Parkway south, continue to I-40 west, then take I-440 west to reach the Foster Ave area.

Our shop: 2606 Foster Ave, Nashville, TN 37210. Call (629) 259-2361 before you head over if you have questions.

Peeling clear coat

Once clear coat starts to flake, it won’t polish back. The panel has to be sanded down past the failed layer, then recoated and blended. Catching it early keeps the repair smaller.

Frequently asked questions

My rear bumper got scraped backing a boat trailer. Is it repairable?

Usually. Scrapes and small dents in a bumper cover can be repaired and refinished. If the trailer hitch area pushed the bumper inward, we'll check the mounts too.

Can sun-faded paint be restored?

Oxidized paint can sometimes be brought back with polishing. If the clear coat is peeling, the panel needs to be refinished.

Dent, scratch or collision damage?

Send a few photos of the damage with your estimate request, or call the shop to talk it through.
