Frequently Asked Questions

What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?​

PDR is a method of removing minor dents and dings from a vehicle's body without repainting, preserving the original factory finish.​

How does PDR work?​

Technicians use specialized tools to access the backside of the dent and gently massage the metal back into its original shape.​

Is PDR cheaper than traditional repair methods?​

Yes, PDR is often more affordable than conventional body shop repairs since it doesn't involve painting or body fillers.​ 

How long does the PDR process take?​

Minor dents can often be fixed within a few hours, while larger or more complex repairs may take longer.

Will my insurance cover PDR?​​

Yes, many insurance policies cover PDR, especially for hail damage or minor dents.​

Does PDR affect my vehicle's paint?​​​

No, PDR preserves the vehicle's original paint finish, maintaining its value and appearance.

Can all dents be repaired using PDR?​​​

Not all dents are suitable for PDR. Factors like depth, location, and paint condition determine eligibility.​ 

Will PDR be reported to Carfax?​​​​

Minor PDR repairs often do not appear on Carfax reports. However, insurance claims, especially for significant damage, may be recorded.

Is PDR environmentally friendly?

Yes, PDR is an eco-friendly method as it doesn't involve the use of paints, fillers, or chemicals.

Can PDR fix hail damage?​

Yes, PDR is highly effective in repairing dents caused by hailstorms.

How do I file an insurance claim for dent repair?​

Contact your insurance company directly to initiate a claim. Provide them with details about the damage and your policy information.

How do I know what coverages I have?​

Review your insurance policy documents carefully or contact your insurance agent for clarification. 

Can I get an estimate by sending a picture of the dent? ​

Yes, a price range can be provided based on a photo, but an in-person evaluation is recommended for accuracy. 

Does PDR work on aluminum body panels?  ​

Yes, but aluminum is harder to manipulate than steel, making the process more time-consuming and requiring advanced techniques.

Will my dents be 100% gone?  ​

Most dents can be removed completely, but deep or complex dents may leave slight imperfections. 

Do dents come back after PDR?  ​

No, once a dent is properly removed using PDR, it will not return. 

Can I use PDR to fix dents on my leased vehicle before returning it?   ​

Yes, PDR is an excellent way to repair minor dents and avoid lease return penalties. 

Does PDR work on motorcycles?   ​

Yes, but motorcycle tanks and fenders require specialized PDR techniques and tools. 

What type of dents cannot be fixed with PDR?   ​

Dents with deep creases, dents on panel edges, or dents where the metal has been overstretched may not be fully repairable.

Will filing a hail damage claim increase my insurance rates?  ​

No, hail damage is considered an “act of nature” and does not typically result in higher insurance premiums for individuals.
