Our Dent Repair Process

1

Damage Assessment

We evaluate the size, depth, and location of each dent or scratch to determine the best repair approach.

2

Technique Selection

Shallow dents with intact paint are ideal for PDR. Deeper damage may require traditional repair methods.

3

Precision Repair

Using specialized tools, we carefully work dents from behind the panel or use filling and sanding techniques.

4

Paint Touch-Up

If paint was damaged, we apply color-matched touch-up or full panel refinishing for a seamless result.

5

Final Inspection

We inspect the repair under multiple light angles to ensure the surface is perfectly smooth and the finish is flawless.

Dent Repair FAQ

What is paintless dent removal (PDR)?

PDR is a technique that removes dents without damaging the paint. Specialized tools are used to gently push the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel.

Can all dents be fixed with PDR?

PDR works best on shallow to medium dents where the paint is still intact. Very deep dents, creased dents, or those near panel edges may need traditional repair.

How much does dent repair cost?

Small dents can often be repaired for $75-$150 with PDR. Larger dents or scratch repair varies based on damage severity. We provide free estimates.

How long does dent repair take?

Many PDR repairs take just a few hours. Traditional dent and scratch repair typically takes 1-2 days depending on the extent of damage.
