We commonly throw around the acronym “PDR” as shorthand for “paintless dent repair.” It’s easily the most effective method for remedying most minor dings & dents without the need to remove paint, completely re-paint, or require any air-brush touch ups. The technique utilizes multiple tools to carefully work dents out from the underside or backside of the affected area.
Paintless dent repair is often a “same-day” service, depending on what other services the vehicle may be receiving. Since we aren’t doing any serious paint or body work, the car won’t need an extended stay at our facility for prep or curing. Some body shops may offer a PDR service, but many would prefer alternative methods to remedy the damage that may include re-sprays & heavy paint blending.
Depending on the severity of your dents & damage, paintless dent repair may be your best option. If the dents are golf ball sized or smaller, they can probably be fixed.
Most definitely. If the vehicle has a relatively clean history but suffers from some door dings, paintless dent repair is the perfect treatment. A car with no dents & an accident free record is infinitely more reassuring to any buyer than a dented up car that claims to never have been wrecked
We have yet to experience a dent that “pops back” after being treated with paintless dent repair. Unless you damage the dented area a second or third time post-repair, dent resurgence is highly unlikely.
No. While we have heard some horror stories about PDR outfits who access dents by drilling or punching holes, we vow to never do that to any vehicle that’s in for PDR without explicit permission from the client. If the dent can’t be accessed, we’ll likely contact you via phone before proceeding in any way.
