What is Paintless Dent Removal?
Paintless dent removal (PDR), is a method of repairing dents in a car’s bodywork by reshaping the panel. This means there is no need to fill or paint over the damage. During paintless dent removal, specialist tools are used to press and massage the damaged panel from behind. As a result, the dented metal is pushed out, to restore its original shape. This repairs the bodywork while maintaining the manufacturer’s paintwork finish. Paintless dent removal is a popular alternative to conventional dent repair methods, as it can be cheaper and quicker. As the repairs do not require painting and curing, the whole process is usually completed within a few hours.
​
Paintless dent repair is an environmentally friendly repair method that restores a vehicle’s body to factory-like condition in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost. PDR can be used to remove dings and dents from vehicles, as well as creases and hail damage.
As long as the paint is not chipped or cracked, PDR is an excellent alternative to traditional repairs.
HOW DOES CAR DENT REPAIR WORK?
Our PDR technicians safely restore vehicles to their original factory condition without compromising a vehicle’s original painted finish, or a consumer’s wallet. Here’s how PDR works. First, technicians assess the damage of the vehicle. Where is the dent? How big is the dent? How do we get to the dent? After assessing the damage and determining if it can be effectively removed through PDR (as 80-90% of all dents are), we begin working on the repair.
​
Then, technicians gain access to the dent. In most cases, PDR requires a technician to access the back side of the dent, which means carefully removing body panels, taillights, or in some cases, interior panels. To perform PDR, you need a pathway to the dent. Once the technician has access to the dent, it’s time to get a better look.
​
Dent CS uses a special light board to get a better look at the dent from his point of view.
The board highlights the dent on the panel, telling the us where to precisely place tools behind the dent to massage the body back to its original condition. Finally, we apply pressure to work out the dent. Special tools are then utilized to carefully massage the exterior back to its original position.
The PDR process can be completed with same-day service, depending on a dent’s severity, and the results are amazing; even more so considering how non-invasive and quick the process really is. Standard paintless dent repairs are very time efficient.
