Hail Damage Repair & PDR
Find out whether the dents on your vehicle are candidates for paintless dent repair.
The technique
What is paintless dent repair?
Paintless dent repair, or PDR, reshapes suitable metal panels without conventional repainting. Where panel access allows, specialized tools make controlled adjustments from behind the dent. In some situations, exterior pulling techniques may be used. The repair approach depends on the panel and the condition of the paint.
What we look for
When PDR may be a good fit
Suitable depth and access
Dent depth, location, panel material and access all affect the repair options.
When conventional work is needed
Cracked paint, severe creases or stretched metal may require conventional body repair or refinishing.
Vehicle evaluation
Start with an inspection
An inspection helps identify affected panels, check the condition of the finish, and explain which repairs may be appropriate for your vehicle.
