paintless dent repair When your car is dented by hail or a runaway shopping cart, the resulting damage can be frustrating. If you take pride in your car’s appearance and don’t want to compromise its value with traditional dent repair, consider paintless dent repair (PDR). This method is a quick and inexpensive way to remove unsightly dings and creases. How does PDR work?

Performing Paintless Dent Repair

When your car has a ding or crease, but the paint job is not impacted, there is no sanding or repainting required to repair the damage. PDR can be performed in two ways:

  • Create a Path: From the back of the exterior panel, pressure is applied with specialized tools to gently reshape the dent.
  • Bond Tabs to Panel: Tabs are bonded to the exterior panel and pulled with a PDR tool until the dent pops back into place.

The Benefits of Paintless Dent Repair

Compared to traditional dent repair, environmentally-friendly PDR takes a small percentage of the time and cost, since less materials are needed. Traditional methods do not last long-term and can impact the resale value of the car if the paint does not match the original factory color. After PDR is performed on an aluminum or steel panel, the dent is virtually undetectable, so you don’t have to worry about the value of your car decreasing.
