No sanding, no body filler, and absolutely no mismatched paint. Just a flawless, like-new result, usually in a matter of hours.

Paintless Dent Repair FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About PDR:

Think of PDR as a “massage” for your car’s metal. It is a specialized, non-invasive method used to remove dents, dings, and hail damage without the need for traditional body filler or new paint. Because we don’t have to sand or spray anything, your car keeps its original factory finish and its resale value stays intact.

The process is a meticulous three-step craft:

  1. Access: We gain entry to the backside of the dent by carefully removing interior panels or trim. If the area is double-walled, we use a specialized “glue-pulling” technique from the outside that is safe for your paint.
  2. Lighting: We use high-intensity LED light boards to cast a series of straight lines across the damage. Any distortion in those lines tells our technicians exactly where the metal needs to be moved.
  3. The Massage: Using surgical-grade steel tools, our technicians apply precise “micro-pushes” to the back of the panel. We slowly and patiently move the metal back into its original shape until the dent completely vanishes.

It’s a clean, eco-friendly, and incredibly effective way to hit the “undo” button on minor damage.

Not a chance. Once we massage the metal back to its original factory shape using PDR, it stays there. The “memory” of the metal is restored to its flat, smooth state. Unlike traditional body work that uses fillers which can shrink or crack over time, a PDR repair is permanent and will last as long as you own the vehicle.

We get this one a lot. While “Paintless” is in our name, we can still help! If the paint is slightly scuffed but not missing, we can often buff it out after the PDR process. If there is a small chip, we can apply touch-up paint once the metal is straight. However, if the paint is severely cracked or peeling, that is a sign you might need the full-service treatment at our sister shop, Collision Craftsman, to prevent rust.

On average, PDR is significantly more affordable than traditional body work—often 50% to 75% less. This is because we don’t have to charge you for expensive paint materials, primer, or hours of labor for sanding and drying. It is the most cost-effective way to keep your car looking sharp without breaking the bank or your insurance policy.

It’s less about the size and more about the depth and location. We have successfully removed dents the size of a dinner plate if they are shallow and the paint is flexible. The real “deal-breakers” are dents located on the very edge of a panel or those with extremely sharp, creased metal. The best way to know is to text us a photo—we’re pretty honest about what we can work our magic on!

We love the DIY spirit, but those suction cup kits and “as seen on TV” tools can often do more harm than good. They tend to over-stretch the metal or, even worse, pull the paint right off the car. PDR is a specialized craft that involves precise pressure from behind the panel. If a DIY attempt goes wrong, it usually makes the professional repair more difficult (and expensive) to fix. Save yourself the headache and let a pro handle the heavy lifting!


Have more questions about how we work our magic? We believe in total transparency, so if you’re curious about a specific repair or just want to know if PDR is the right move for your car, give us a shout. We’re always happy to talk shop and help you find the fastest, most cost-effective path back to a flawless finish.”
