The fender is one of the most commonly damaged parts of any vehicle. Whether it’s a parking lot scrape, a side-swipe collision, or significant impact damage, a bent or dented fender affects more than just your car’s appearance — it can compromise structural integrity, misalign body panels, and leave exposed metal vulnerable to rust and corrosion.
At Cavallo Auto Body, we repair and replace fenders on all makes and models with the same precision and care we bring to every job. Our goal is simple: restore your vehicle so completely that you can’t tell anything ever happened.
No matter how the damage happened, Cavallo Auto Body has the tools and expertise to fix it.

Our estimators will always recommend the option that delivers the best outcome for your vehicle — not the most expensive one.
1. Assessment
We inspect the full extent of the damage, including hidden areas behind the fender that aren’t immediately visible. No detail gets missed.
2. Disassembly
We remove surrounding trim, moldings, and components to access the full damage area and protect nearby panels during the repair process.
3. Repair or Replacement
Depending on the damage, we either carefully reshape and finish the existing fender or install a new OEM or OEM-equivalent replacement panel properly fitted and aligned to factory specifications.
4. Paint Preparation
The fender is sanded, primed, and sealed to ensure perfect adhesion and a smooth, durable base for the color coat.
5. Color Matching & Refinishing
Using computerized color-matching technology, we blend your vehicle’s exact paint formula, accounting for age and fade, so the repaired fender is seamlessly matched to the rest of your car.
6. Reassembly & Inspection
All trim, moldings, and hardware are reinstalled and inspected for proper fit and alignment. We don’t release a vehicle until every gap, seam, and surface meets our standards.

If you’ve been in an accident, you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
