What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

 

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a fast and cost-effective way to remove small dents, dings, and creases without sanding, filling, or repainting. Using special tools, a technician gently massages the dent out from behind the panel—keeping your car’s original paint finish and value intact.

 

PDR is commonly used for hail damage, door dings, and other minor dents. It’s quicker and more affordable than traditional bodywork, and most repairs can be completed the same day.

 

 

How Does Paintless Dent Repair Work?

 

Once it’s confirmed that your dent qualifies for PDR, a technician carefully accesses the back side of the damaged area—often through doors, windows, or interior panels. Using precision tools, they gently work the metal back into its original shape.

​

The process requires skill and patience but delivers smooth, paint-free results that blend perfectly with the rest of your vehicle.

​​

What Kind of Damage Can PDR Fix?

​​

PDR works best for dents and dings where the paint isn’t cracked or chipped, including:

​​​

Large dents

Door dings

Small creases or dents from shopping carts or minor bumps

​​

​If the paint is damaged or the dent is too large and sharp, traditional body repair may be the better option.

​

​

​​​How Long Does PDR Take?

 

 

Most small dents and door dings can be fixed in just a few hours. Larger or multiple dents—like hail damage—may take a day or more.

​​

Even in those cases, PDR is still much faster than traditional repair methods, so you can get your vehicle back on the road sooner.
