PDR Faqs

What is Paintless Dent Removal?

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is an innovative technique used to remove minor dings, dents, and creases from a vehicle back to its original form. Our certified technicians are specialized in the "art of massaging metal back to its original form" while maintaining the integrity of your car's factory or custom finish. An alternative to traditional auto body repair, PDR can restore your vehicle without the need for costly body fillers, sanding, or painting. As a result, your auto repair experience is much faster, more convenient, and ultimately saves you time and money.

How much does PDR cost?

When it comes to the cost of PDR you simply pay less. When it comes to restoring your vehicle, you typically pay a fraction of what a modern auto repair shop may charge. Pricing depends upon the location, size and depth of your damage, as well as the points of access. The cost of an average "ding" is normally estimated from $90-$125. Additional dings on the same panel can usually be completed for only an additional $20 each. On separate panels additional dings will receive a discounted rate of $75.

Larger dents at the approximate size of a golf ball start at $135, while palm-size dents start at $200. Dents that are more complex such as long or deep creases, or more serious damage will start from $250 to $425.

Generally, PDR is less than half the cost of traditional bodywork, and for every vehicle repair involving three or more panels, a10% discount will apply.

How long does it take?

The repair of a single dime-to-quarter-size ding will take as little as a half hour, while multiple dings can run up to an hour. Repair time estimates depend largely upon the dents depth and location. Larger or more complex dents and creases can take additional time, but most repairs are completed within two hours, opposed to days or even weeks required by traditional repair shops.

How does PDR work?

The PDR process involves the use of innovative tools that reveal the total damaged area. With acute hand-eye coordination, our highly skilled and experienced technicians access damaged panels from behind. Utilizing uniquely handcrafted tools, we gently manipulate and massage the area back to its original factory condition, maintaining the integrity of the original body line and finish.

Is PDR work guaranteed?

Yes, PDR is guaranteed! If you are not 100% satisfied your money will be refunded. Upon accessing your vehicle's damage, our certified technicians will advise you on the best method of repair and the expected results. In cases where bodywork is recommended but the customer insists on going with the PDR method, our technicians will indicate in advance what realistically is to be expected.

We go above and beyond to ensure that your PDR experience is a pleasant one.
