What Is Paintless Dent Repair and How Does It Work?

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a technique used to remove minor dents, dings, and creases from a vehicle's body panels without the need for sanding, body filler, or repainting. Skilled technicians use specialized metal rods and body picks to massage the dented metal back to its original shape from behind the panel.

The process preserves your vehicle's original factory paint finish, which is one of its biggest advantages over traditional body shop repairs. Because no paint is applied, there is no risk of color mismatch, and the repair is typically completed in a fraction of the time.

PDR works best on shallow dents where the paint has not been cracked or chipped. The flexibility of the paint and the amount the metal has been stretched both play a role in whether PDR is a viable option. Our technicians will assess your damage and let you know if PDR is right for your vehicle.
