What is paintless dent removal (PDR)?

PDR is the most cost efficient and environmentally friendly repair method for restoring hail damage, car park dents and many other damages. The repair time is relatively short varying from 30min to a full day. With larger repairs like extensive hail damage or smashed roofs repair can take few days including removal, installation and polishing.

Paintless dent repair requires highly skilled technician. Special tools are used to access the dent from behind to massage the panel back to its original shape without damaging the paint. In closed areas where this technique is not possible, we use special glue system to pull the dent out. The use of a reflective light source, such as an LED lamp, is used by the technician to pinpoint the location of their tool on the backside of the panel in order to manipulate the metal back to its original factory finish state.

BENEFITS INSTEAD OF PAINTING A PANEL

  • Environment friendly – No need to use filler, primer, paint or other chemicals.
  • Short repair time – Vehicle will be back on the road in a few hours.
  • Keeps original condition – Original factory finished cars are more valued.

In case of damaged paint or highly stretched metal we can’t use paintless dent repair method. Though, most of the light to average scratches can be sanded and polished.
