Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) or Paintless Dent Repair is a method for removing minor dents and dings from the body of a vehicle. PDR is most commonly utilized in repairing hail damage, minor creases, and door dings. These techniques can also be used to help prepare a damaged panel for refinishing in a body shop using conventional paint and body methods. This application is often referred to as "push to paint".
Factors impacting successful repairs using PDR include the flexibility of the paint (most of today's automotive refinishes allow for PDR), and the amount the metal has been stretched by the damage. The more shallow the dent the better the chance of PDR being a suitable option. Extremely sharp dents and creases may not qualify for this repair. In some cases even a dent the size of half dollar can be repaired depending on the paint being intact along with the depth and angle of the dent.
Please call ahead of time to set up an appointment for this type of repair.
We will schedule our PDR technician to be on site and wash your vehicle so it can be accurately estimated. This usually involves leaving your vehicle for the day.
