Why drivers choose PDR.
Paintless dent repair can be faster, less intrusive, and more economical than conventional body repair because the original paint finish remains intact. The technique requires specialized access tools, reflected-light systems, glue-pull methods, and precise control of the metal.
PDR is a repair method—not a promise for every dent.
Eligibility depends on paint condition, impact depth, panel access, dent location, prior repairs, and how far the metal has stretched.
Common PDR candidates
- Hail dents with intact paint
- Door dings and parking-lot dents
- Shallow creases with workable access
- Minor dents on steel or aluminum panels
When conventional repair may be better
- Paint is cracked, chipped, or already failing
- The metal is sharply folded or severely stretched
- The impact is on an inaccessible reinforced edge
- A part is torn, punctured, or structurally compromised
