FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​

What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a specialized repair process that removes dents, dings, creases, and hail damage without sanding, body filler, or repainting. Using professional tools and techniques, we carefully massage the damaged metal back to its original shape while preserving your vehicle's factory paint.

PDR is the preferred repair method for most door dings, shopping cart dents, hail damage, and many larger dents because it's faster, more affordable, and maintains your vehicle's original finish.

​

Can PDR Fix Any Dent?

While Paintless Dent Repair can repair the vast majority of dents, not every dent is a candidate.

PDR works best when:

  • The factory paint is still intact

  • The metal hasn't been excessively stretched

  • The dent is accessible from behind or can be repaired using specialized glue-pulling techniques

Even many large dents can be repaired without paint by an experienced technician. If a dent isn't a good candidate for PDR, we'll explain why and recommend the best repair option.

​

How Long Does Paintless Dent Repair Take?

Most Paintless Dent Repairs are completed in 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size, location, and complexity of the damage.

Typical repair times:

  • Small door ding: 30–60 minutes

  • Medium dent: 1–2 hours

  • Large dent or multiple dents: 2–6 hours

  • Hail damage: Same day to several days, depending on severity

Our goal is to get you back on the road as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.

​

Is Paintless Dent Repair Less Expensive Than Traditional Body Repair?

Yes. In most cases, PDR costs significantly less than conventional body shop repairs.

Because there is:

  • No repainting

  • No body filler

  • No replacement panels

  • Less labor

...customers often save hundreds or even thousands of dollars while keeping their vehicle's original factory finish.
