WHAT IS PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR?
Sometimes called paintless dent removal, PDR is an inexpensive way to correct imperfections and make your vehicle look like new. As it's name suggests, PDR is a specialized technique for repairing dents without using paint. These paintless fixes begin with a professional assessment and may require the damaged panel to be removed for a thorough examination.

HOW IS PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR WORK DONE?
The process usually involves gently resisting the dent from the other side of the panel. This includes patiently tapping the dent out using specialized tools. The process also includes tapping from the outside — back and forth — for a perfectly smooth finish. After the dent is flattened, there may be some need to buff minimal scrapes and scratches.
