Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is the fastest and most cost effective way to remove small, medium and large dents from motor vehicles. These dents can happen due to a door opening onto your vehicle, an unruly shopping cart making its way to your car, a box falling from the rafters in the garage, or an number of other ways. All of these and more can be taken out by a professional paintless dent repair technician.

There is no heat, dry ice, suction, or magnetism used to remove the dent. The panels are restored without the use of fillers or paints. Each dent is meticulously massaged out from the backside to its original form. Gettig to the dent either through the window or by removing certain liners or panels allows for the technician to remove the dent.

This process of massaging out the dent can take anywhere from 10 minutes to hours. The reason for such a wide range of time is due to the size and location of the damaged area. Door dings can be removed quickly and efficiently while larger dents take time and patience to restore the panel to its original form.

The results are nothing shorts of amazing! Best of all, you'll have a blemish free vehicle which has been restored to its original factory finish.

Most door ding & dent repairs are completed in less than an hour!

However there are limitations to the paintless dent repair process that you should know of so that you get the best repair for your vehicle.

These limitations are, but not limited to:

Paint has been broken or cracked.
Collision damage.
The size of the dent can be as large as a watermelon but if it is too deep the metal may be stretched.
Almost all dents can be removed as long as the metal has not been badly kinked or stretched.
Dents can be fixed almost anywhere on the vehicle as long as the dent is not located on the very edge of a panel.

The next time you have a dent in your vehicle make sure to contact your local paintless dent repair technician to see if it can be taken care of without taking your prized vehicle to the body shop.
