Paintless Dent Repair Process

Assessment

One of our experienced technicians will assess the damage to determine if PDR is suitable. Not all dents can be repaired with PDR, particularly if the paint is damaged or the dent is too large or complex.

Accessing the Dent

The technician gains access to the dent from behind the body panel. This may involve removing interior panels, tail lights, or other components to get a clear view of the back side of the dent.

Dent Removal

Using a variety of special tools (such as metal rods and body picks), the technician will carefully manipulate the dent from the inside out. These tools allow the metal to be restored to its original shape without damaging the paint. For some dents, especially those where accessing the back side of the body panel is difficult, glue-pulling techniques might be used. Specially designed tabs are glued to the exterior of the dent and then pulled with a special tool to lift the dent out.

Finishing Touches

Once the dent is removed, the technician will check the panel for any remaining imperfections and make any final adjustments. The straightened panel is then cleaned and polished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paintless dent repair, sometimes referred to as PDR, is a method of removing minor dents from the body of a motor vehicle without the need for body filler or paint.

Technicians use specialized tools to gently manipulate the dented metal back into its original shape from behind the panel, preserving the factory paint.

PDR is most effective on small to medium-sized dents caused by hail, door dings, and minor collisions where the paint is not damaged.

PDR can be performed on steel and aluminum panels, making it suitable for most vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs.

PDR will not damage the car’s paint as it does not involve body filler, sanding, or repainting.

The time it takes to complete a PDR job will vary depending on the size and number of dents, but many repairs can be completed in just a few hours.

PDR is generally less expensive than traditional dent repair methods because it requires less labor and fewer materials.

PDR is not suitable for dents where the paint is damaged. Traditional body repair methods are required in such cases.

A skilled PDR technician can often restore the dented area to its original condition, making the repair virtually undetectable.

PDR is considered eco-friendly as it eliminates the need for paint and body filler, reducing harmful chemicals and waste.

While DIY kits are available, achieving professional results requires experience and specialized tools. It’s best to hire a trained technician.

Properly performed PDR can help maintain your vehicle’s value by preserving the original paint and finish.

When performed by a skilled technician, PDR is generally safe. However, inexperienced attempts can result in further damage to the vehicle.

Many insurance companies cover PDR for hail damage and minor dents. Check with your insurance provider for specifics.

Look for technicians with certifications, good reviews, and experience in the industry. Personal recommendations can also be helpful.

PDR can be performed on most vehicle areas, but some locations with limited access or severe damage may not be suitable for PDR.

While PDR can be performed in various weather conditions, extreme temperatures or wet conditions may affect the process.

Once a dent is properly repaired with PDR, it will not return unless new damage occurs.

There are no special care requirements after PDR. You can wash and wax your vehicle as usual.
