When you least expect it, a deer can jump out in the road just ahead of your vehicle. Whether you end up hitting it or if you swerve to avoid the animal, chances are good you will incur damage to your Reading new or used Toyota. It can be a tough last minute decision to make and difficult to deal with unintentionally harming an animal.
In the aftermath of such a situation, it will be important to have your vehicle inspected for damage that is visible as well as the damage you may have sustained that you can’t see. The impact with an animal can cause a lot of damage to the stability and reliability of your vehicle. Before you continue to drive around if your vehicle is still operable it is important to have your Reading Toyota professionally inspected.
We will evaluate the condition of your vehicle to ensure your front end damage is documented for insurance purposes. We will also check out the internal parts of your vehicle to make sure components affected in the accident are still functioning and do not need to be replaced.
Your brakes may have also been affected by the incident if you slammed on the pedal to avoid the animal in the road. Brake pads can wear down with regular use but if you have to react in an emergency, your brakes may end up failing you when you need them most.
Don’t assume your vehicle is safe no matter if you hit the deer or not. Let our Toyota mechanics in Reading have the opportunity to evaluate damage you can see and the damage not visible so you will know your vehicle is safe to put back on the road.
