The Art of Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)

Paintless Dent Removal, commonly referred to as PDR, is a highly skilled, precision technique used to repair dents, dings, and creases without damaging your vehicle’s factory paint. It eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming traditional body shop repairs.


PDR is a smart, cost-effective solution that delivers factory-quality results—without sanding, body fillers, or repainting.


Typical Repair Costs:
Dents ranging in size from a dime to a quarter start at $175, depending on the size, severity, and number of dents. Most repairs are completed in under 2 hours, except for hail damage, which may require more time.

Conventional PDR & Hail Repair

Traditional PDR involves accessing the backside of the damaged panel, where technicians use precision tools to methodically massage and reshape the metal. This process requires expertise, patience, and a deep understanding of vehicle structure to achieve a flawless finish.

Glue Pulling

In situations where backside access is limited—such as on double-panel areas or during hail damage repair—technicians use the Glue Pulling technique. This method involves applying specially formulated glue to plastic tabs, which are then attached to the exterior surface of the dent. By gently pulling the tab and using a series of push-pull techniques, the dent is lifted and the panel is restored.

Due to the extended labor and technical demands of glue pulling, the cost of this repair is typically higher, and pricing is based on the depth, size, and location of the damage.

 

Why PDR?


Affordable – No repainting or bodywork is needed. Paintless Dent Removal typically costs up to 2/3 less than traditional body shop repairs.


Fast – Most PDR repairs are completed within a few hours, unlike body shop services which can take days or even weeks.


Convenient – PDR is a fully mobile service, allowing customers to have their vehicles repaired at home or at the office with minimal disruption.


Impressive Results – Customers are consistently amazed by the factory-quality finish achieved through Paintless Dent Removal—often with no evidence the damage was ever there.
