As every Alberta motorist knows, winter driving in the Prairies can be treacherous at times, with icy roads and reduced visibility making fender benders and collisions all too common. Even without minor accidents, there’s still road grit, scratches from scrapers and ice, and more to contend with. Don’t let those dings and dents get you down when the unexpected happens, though— especially when repairing your vehicle can be straightforward with the right parts and tools. Central Alberta Paint and Supply offers everything you need to bring your vehicle back to its best shape, no matter the season, from the comfort of your own garage.

Essential Auto Body Parts and Tools for Winter Collision Repairs

  1. Bumper: Your bumper often takes the brunt of winter collisions, absorbing impact as intended. After a fender bender, a damaged bumper looks bad and compromises your car’s safety, offering less cushioning against the next bump. CAPS offers a wide range of bumper replacements to ensure your vehicle is protected for the next icy patch of road.
  2. Quarter Panel: Quarter panels are prone to damage from side swipes or rear-end turning collisions. Replacing a bent or dented panel is key to maintaining your car’s structural integrity and appearance while preventing rust from forming. CAPS stocks all the best-selling make and model quarter panels to make your repair process seamless.
  3. Door Panel: Alberta’s tight parking stalls, icy driveways, and underground parking make door panel dents a common occurrence. A damaged door panel can allow moisture to seep in, leading to rust or salt corrosion. At CAPS, you’ll find the best selection of door panel replacements by make and model in Alberta, to help keep your car looking sharp.
  4. Hood: Winter driving hazards like flying highway debris and low-visibility crashes can leave your hood a scratched or crumpled mess. Replacing it not only restores your car’s look but also guarantees proper engine protection from the elements. CAPS carries high-quality hoods to match your vehicle’s specifications, making replacement a breeze.
  5. Trunk Lid: In a hard enough rear-end collision, you may sustain damage to your trunk lid, impacting your ability to keep cargo secure or even close your trunk properly. CAPS carries a full range of replacement trunk lids that fit perfectly on the most popular makes and models to get your car back to its original condition and keep your belongings safe.
  6. Dent Pulling Kit: Thankfully, not every dent requires a complete part replacement. A dent pulling kit is an invaluable tool for minor damage for Alberta drivers. CAPS stocks a variety of user-friendly kits that’ll help you fix minor dings quickly and affordably.
  7. Filler: Not all winter damage is collision-based— sometimes, a hasty snow scraper or rocks flung by a snow blower can wreck your paint job, leading to rust and corrosion. Body fillers are perfect for smoothing out small scratches and dents before they grow. CAPS offers professional-grade fillers to make sure all your repairs look flawless.
  8. Primer: Whether your winter damage is big or small, most of them require a touch-up or a full repaint. A good primer is essential for a smooth and long-lasting paint job, so whether you’re touching up a small area or repainting an entire replacement part, CAPS’ range of primers provide excellent adhesion and a durable finish at a great price point.
  9. Sanders: After any repair work, the last step in getting your vehicle back in showroom condition is a great paint job— and to accomplish that, you’ll need a smooth surface. Preparing your surface for paint is just as important as the paint itself. CAPS stocks high-quality sanders that make prepping fast and easy so your paint looks like new.
  10. Paint: Whether you’ve completely wrecked your back end or just want to touch up some scratches, a fresh coat of paint ties your repairs together. Colour-matching your vehicle’s paint is crucial for a seamless repair, which is why CAPS carries Alberta’s largest selection of high-quality automotive paints, guaranteeing a perfect match every time.
