💡 When to Choose PDR

PDR is ideal when the paint is intact and the dent has smooth, rounded edges. It's perfect for hail damage, door dings, and minor parking lot dents. If paint is cracked or the metal is sharply creased, traditional repair is needed.

⚠️ Hail Damage & Insurance

Most comprehensive auto insurance covers hail damage. However, you'll pay your deductible ($500-$1,000 typically). For minor hail damage under your deductible, financing PDR may be more economical than filing a claim and risking premium increases.

How PDR Works

Paintless Dent Repair is a specialized technique that removes dents without affecting your vehicle's original factory paint. Technicians use specialized tools to carefully massage the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel.

The process requires accessing the back of the dented panel, either through existing openings or by removing interior trim. Using precise pressure and leverage, skilled technicians gradually push the dent out while preserving the paint surface.

PDR has revolutionized dent repair since the 1980s. What once required body filler, sanding, and repainting can now be fixed in hours with no paint work—saving you significant money while maintaining your vehicle's original finish and value.

Dent Removal FAQs

How long does PDR take?
Most single dents take 30 minutes to 2 hours. Full hail damage repair on an entire vehicle typically takes 1-3 days depending on severity.
Will PDR damage my paint?
No. When performed by a skilled technician, PDR preserves your original factory paint completely. That's the main advantage—no repainting needed.
Can all dents be removed with PDR?
No. PDR works best on dents where the paint is intact and the metal isn't sharply creased or stretched. Collision damage, deep creases, and dents on panel edges often require traditional repair.
Is PDR worth it for small dings?
Yes! Small door dings are PDR's specialty. A $100-150 PDR repair preserves your paint and vehicle value, while ignoring dents can lead to rust and decreased resale value.
Should I use insurance for hail damage?
Depends on severity. For damage exceeding your deductible significantly, insurance makes sense. For minor damage close to your deductible, paying out of pocket (or financing) avoids potential premium increases.
