What is Paintless Dent Repair?

Paintless Dent Repair, also known as Paintless Dent Removal or PDR, is a process that utilizes specialized tools and lighting systems to remove dents on vehicles body panels. The dents are precisely manipulated to restore the metal to its original form.

What kind of damage can be repaired?

Small to moderately sized dents and creases can be repaired. PDR is extremely effective in repairing hail damage. Because of this fact a growing number of insurance companies specify PDR as the preferred method for repairing hail damage.

There are limitations to what can be repaired with PDR. The following is a list of  things that may make PDR inappropriate:

- Vehicles more than 12 years old

- Body panels that have been conventionally repaired and repainted

- Dents with cracked or broken paint

- Dents that are located within 1/2" of a body panel's edge

It is best to have one of our experts give you a free evaluation of the damage on your vehicle to determine the most appropriate method of repair.

How long does it take?

Small dents or dings can be done in less than an hour. Moderate to large sized dents may take several hours to repair. Hail damage typically takes from one to three days to repair depending on the severity of the damage.

Shorter repair times reduce cost and inconvenience.

How Much does it cost?

Typically PDR costs 25% to 50% less than conventional body repairs. Most minor dents and dings can be repaired for less than the amount of your insurance deductible.

Not filing insurance claims helps you to keep the cost of your insurance premiums down.

Can you see the repairs?

For most small to medium sized dents, repairs are completely undetectable. Repairs of larger dents can usually only be detected by a trained eye (just like conventional auto body repairs). Most customers are extremely pleased with PDR repairs and say they wish they had known about PDR sooner.

When selecting a PDR company make sure that they have a good reputation and that they guarantee their work.

Will PDR effect the value of my vehicle?

Yes, and in a positive way. Vehicles without damage are worth more than ones with damage. Additionally, vehicles that retain their original factory finish may be worth more than those that have had body panels repainted. PDR does not require the use of body fillers or repainting. Therefore the risk of incorrect paint color matches and overspray are eliminated.
