Question 1

What is PDR?

Accepted Answer

PDR, also known as Paintless Dent Repair or Paintless Dent Removal, is the method used to repair hail damage, door dings, body creases, and minor dents on a vehicle. As its name suggests, PDR does not involve any paint or fillers. Compared to standard dent repair, paintless dent repair restores a vehicle to like-new condition in a way that is faster, less expensive, and even more environmentally friendly.

Question 2

Can all dents be repaired?

Accepted Answer

No. There are determining factors, such as depth and location. There must be access to the dent from behind the damaged panel in order to manipulate the metal back into position. Deep dents where metal has been stretched cannot be repaired 100%

Question 3

How does PDR work?

Accepted Answer

Highly-skilled technicians use specialized tools like body picks and metal rods to push the dent out from the inside.

The next step involves gaining access to the back side of the dent. Parts of the vehicle, such as headlamps,and headliners may have to be temporarily removed to access the car panel. Once there is a clear pathway to the dent, the process can begin.
Slow pressure is used to gently push the dent outward and restore the exterior to its original condition. It might sound simple, but PDR is a carefully honed craft. That’s because without the required training, an amateur could easily push too hard and cause the dent to bulge outward.

Question 4

Why PDR?

Accepted Answer

If you want to have your vehicle dent free for a fraction of the cost and in less time, the paintless dent repair process is a great way to restore your vehicle while leaving the factory finish intact.
