Paintless Auto Repair

What is Paintless Repair?

Paintless Repair, Paintless Dent Repair, PDR... however you phrase it, this new technique has claimed a very large place in today's automobile body repair industry. Paintless repair is a method of making a high-quality repair to small dents and dings on your car's body, at a dent repairedfraction of the time and cost a body shop would require. The process involves using PDR Tools to reach in behind the area of the dent, and slowly "massage" the dent out of the panel. Occasionally, technicians may opt to use a "glue puller," which actually pulls out the dent from the outside of the vehicle panel. Either technique offers a very high-quality repair, at far less cost and time, when compared to older repair methods.



What's the cost?

Paintless Dent Repair normally costs only a fraction of what a body shop might require. Smaller dents are often repaired for $100 or less. Plus, a PDR shop will often give you a discount if more than one dent is to be repaired. Of course, actual pricing will depend upon the severity of your vehicle's damage, the location of the dent, etc. Many times a paintless dent repair shop will provide you with a free estimate of the cost involved. Another important point to remember here is that having those dings removed could pay for itself many times over, with respect to the resale value of your vehicle.



How much time is required for the repair?

Paintless dent repair can be done very quickly and effectively, often taking less than 30 minutes to complete. In fact, much like on-site windshield replacements, paintless repair technicians will often come to you, and make the repairs right on site. Compare this to taking your vehicle to a body shop, leaving it there for several days or longer, having to obtain transportation while your vehicle is gone, then having to travel back to pick it up. Paintless dent repair is your best option for fast, high-quality repairs on most all small dents and dings to your vehicle.
