What is paintless dent repair?

Paintless dent repair is a method of removing dents from your vehicle without using filler or repainting. Instead, technicians use specialized equipment to reach in and carefully massage the dent from the inside out.

What are the benefits of paintless dent repair?

1. The paintless dent repair method does not damage the paint or require any body filler or repainting.

2. It is typically more cost effective than a traditional body shop. There are some cases where we cost more at the time of repair, but factoring in the maintained value of your vehicle still make us the better option.

3. It is much faster, most repairs can be performed in less than a day. Compare that with the time it takes most bodyshops (a week or more) and PDR is much more convenient.

4. The quality of the repair compared to traditional methods is simply better. It is ALWAYS best to keep the vehicles factory paint and avoid body filler.

Will paintless dent repair damage my paint?

No. Today’s factory paints are very flexible and can handle being moved back and forth as the metal in the dent is moved back out, but just to be safe we can measure how much paint your vehicle has and take additional steps to ensure the integrity of your vehicles factory finish. If the paint is not already scratched from the damage impact, it will not have any problems with our paintless dent repair procedure. In fact, paintless dent repair is the only way to fix dents without damaging your paint.
