What we repair

Common damage repaired
by a PDR specialist

Not every dent requires a body shop. If the paint is still intact, Paintless Dent Repair can often restore the panel to its original shape, without sanding, fillers, or repainting. Here are the most common types of damage we repair:

01

Door dings

Small dents caused by car doors, shopping carts, or minor parking lot impacts. One of the most common PDR repairs and often completed quickly.

02

Hail damage

Multiple dents across the hood, roof, trunk, and other panels, professionally repaired while preserving your vehicle's original factory paint.

03

Body line dents

Dents located along body lines require advanced precision and experience to restore the panel's original shape without repainting.

04

Creases

Long or sharp dents that demand specialized techniques. In many cases, they can be successfully repaired with Paintless Dent Repair.

05

Minor dents

Small dents that may seem insignificant but can affect your vehicle's appearance and resale value. Fast, affordable, and highly effective to repair.

06

Large dents

Larger dents with no paint damage are often excellent candidates for Paintless Dent Repair. Send us photos, and we'll provide an honest assessment of whether PDR is the right solution.

The method

What is paintless
dent repair?

Paintless dent repair, also known as PDR, removes dents and dings without deep sanding, filler or repainting the vehicle.

Using specialized tools, the technician reaches the back of the panel and applies precise pressure to bring the metal as close as possible to its original shape.

Because the original paint is never touched, PDR preserves the factory finish, the appearance and the resale value of the car. In most cases it is also faster and far less invasive than a traditional body shop repair.

  • Small and complex dents
  • Hail damage
  • Body line dents
  • Minor collision marks
  • Larger dents with intact paint

Every dent is different. Each one is assessed before a single tool touches the panel.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

01

Send photos and a short video

To provide an accurate estimate, please send multiple photos of the damaged area from different angles, along with a short video that clearly shows the dent and the surrounding panel. The more details we can see, the more accurate your estimate will be.

02

Receive your free estimate

Once we review your photos and video, you will receive an honest assessment and a personalized estimate. All online estimates are completely free.

03

Choose the best option

You can bring your vehicle to us, or we can come to your location.

On site inspections require a travel fee if the repair is not performed. If you decide to move forward with the repair, the travel fee is waived and there is no additional charge for the visit.

04

Drive away like nothing happened

Most repairs are completed the same day, preserving your vehicle's original factory paint, with no fillers, no repainting, and no loss of value.

Inside the work

Precision you can
only see in the light

The light board is how a dent is read. Every reflection line tells the technician exactly where the metal still needs to move.

Before and after

Real repairs,
real panels

Every one of these was fixed without filler and without repainting. The factory paint on each car is the paint it left the factory with.
