Wondering How the Paintless Dent Repair Process Works?

Understanding what Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is and how the process works is key to a successful and efficient repair. PDR is a specialized technique used to remove small to large dents and dings. Skilled technicians can remove crease dents, body line dents, and hail stone also. Refinishing the panel or adjacent panels of the vehicle is not required. The typical Paintless Dent Repair process works as follows:

Estimating & Evaluation:

First, I will evaluate the dent and look for signs of paint damage to determine if the dent is a good candidate for PDR. Typically, small to large dents without paint damage are recommended for Paintless Dent Repair to be cost-effective for the customer.

Next, I will assess whether the damage is accessible from the back side of the panel. This helps determine costs of repairs. If paint damage is present, I will discuss repair your options.

Finally, an estimate for repairs will be provided.

Scheduling:

You will be provided a day, time, and an approximate timeframe to repair the dent. Depending upon the size and factors determined in the evaluation process, the repair may be done the same day while you wait.

Repairing the Dent:

Once the vehicle is the shop, the PDR technician will use specialized tools to massage the dent out from the back side. If access isn’t available, glue pull techniques will remove the dent from the outside of the panel. Time, patience, and skill are required to slowly work the metal back to its original position.

Finishing the Dent:

During the process,  I inspect the dent from multiple angles. Specialized lighting assures the dent is completely removed. The dent is checked for imperfections. Scuff marks that may exist are polished out.

Inspection & Delivery:

The vehicle is brought to you  for  inspection. This ensures all repairs were done with the highest level of quality.

In conclusion, this is how the Paintless Dent Repair process works. The process is rather efficient and cost-effective. A skilled technician can restore your vehicle to Pre-Dent condition or better.
