Have you ever been in a minor accident and encountered a small dent on your vehicle? There might be a way to repair the damage without affecting the original paint job of the vehicle.
It’s called a paintless dent repair.
What is a Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless dent repairs help restore your vehicle’s body to its original condition. It’s affordable, less time to repair, and good for the environment. The catch is, the vehicle’s paint must not be chipped or cracked.
It’s a great option to take if you don’t want to have traditional dent repair.
Process of a Paintless Dent Repair
An estimator will assess the damage of your vehicle and provide the customer with an accurate estimate. Once the estimate is provided, the auto technician will start working on your vehicle. Majority of dent repairs are removed through the paintless dent repair process.
How much will this cost?
Well, it all depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the dent.
In order to fix the dent, a technician must access the back of the damaged panel. They will remove parts like body panels, interior panels, lights, or any other necessary parts that need to be removed.
The technicians will use special tools to form the body of the vehicle back to its pre-accident condition. Pressure is applied to allow the exterior to revert back to its original condition.
PDRs usually have a same day process but it all depends on how much work is needed on your vehicle.
