What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?
Paintless dent repair is an advanced method for removing dents, dings, and hail damage from vehicles. This technique does not require sanding, painting, or body filler application. It effectively preserves the original factory finish of your vehicle, helping to maintain its value.What kinds of dents can PDR fix?
PDR is most effective for addressing hail damage, door dings, small to medium-sized dents, and minor creases. It is particularly suitable for damage where the paint remains intact. If you are uncertain about whether your vehicle's damage can be repaired using PDR, we encourage you to send us a photograph. We can typically provide an assessment within minutes.How long does paintless dent repair take?
The duration of PDR varies depending on the extent of the damage. Most minor repairs can be completed in 30 minutes to a few hours. For more extensive hail damage, the process may take between one to three days, contingent on the severity of the damage.How much does PDR cost?
The cost of PDR is determined by factors such as the size, depth, and location of the dent. Typically, small ding repairs start from $75 to $150. Hail damage repair costs vary based on the number of dents present. We offer complimentary estimates and photo-based quotes to provide accurate pricing.Will my repair be noticeable afterward?
