For example, if you have a slight fender bender or and have any sheet metal damage, this can ultimately lead to rust. Rust is a much more expensive problem to fix, can spread through the piece of metal, and decrease your cars resale value. In other cases, you may also have slight suspension issues, like alignment, that can cause irregular wear on the car as you use it.
