FAQs
1. What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?
Paintless dent repair is a method of removing dents, dings, and creases from a vehicle’s body without sanding, filling, or repainting. Using specialized tools, technicians massage the metal back to its original shape, keeping your factory paint intact and saving you money compared to traditional body shop repairs.
2. How long does a dent repair take?
Most small dents and door dings can be repaired in 1–2 hours. Hail damage or multiple dents may take longer, often a full day or two depending on the severity. We’ll always provide a time estimate upfront before starting any work.
3. Will the dent come back after repair?
No. Once a dent is removed using PDR, it’s gone for good. The repair restores the metal to its original form, so as long as the panel doesn’t get hit again, the dent will not return.
4. Does insurance cover paintless dent repair?
Yes. Most insurance companies recognize and cover PDR, especially for hail damage. Since PDR is often less expensive than traditional bodywork, it’s usually the preferred option. We can work directly with your insurance provider to make the process simple.
5. How much does paintless dent repair cost?
Costs depend on the size, location, and number of dents. Small door dings may start around $75–$150, while hail damage repairs vary widely depending on severity. We always offer free estimates so you’ll know the cost before we begin.
