Yes! Things that seem like minor damage may cause greater issues if they aren’t addressed. For example, if you have a slight fender bender or and have any sheet metal damage, this can ultimately lead to rust.

In other cases, you may also have slight suspension issues, like alignment, that can cause irregular wear on the car as you use it.
