What does the damage type «Rear End» mean

Rear-end damage is the classic result of being hit while parked or in traffic. It often looks superficial, but the trunk structure, frame rails, and mounting points are frequently compromised beneath the surface.

What may be damaged

rear bumper, trunk lid, rear quarter panels
taillights and parking sensors
fuel tank and lines (located at the rear on most models)
exhaust system
rear frame rails on body-on-frame vehicles

What to keep in mind

body misalignment and poor geometry
risk of fuel tank seal failure
difficulty fitting a tow hitch in the future

Our advice: Have the body geometry checked on a frame-straightening bench after purchase, and inspect the rear shock absorbers for hidden wear.
