What is Paintless Dent Removal?
PDR is a highly skilled process in which minor dings and dents
are removed from an automobile's exterior without creating the
costly and time consuming need for traditional body shop repairs.
The PDR process involves the use of custom designed dent removal
tools that are applied to the inside skin of a vehicle's sheet
metal.
To begin the repair process, our technician gains access to
the inside skin of the metal via an automobile's windows, headlights
or other access point. A fluorescent light is then used to illuminate
the damaged area. The technician then drags the tip of the dent
removal tool with leverage, over the damaged area in a fluid,
pumping motion. In less than an hour, dings and dents become
"massaged out? without any damage to the paint. Our technician
will be able to repair dings and dents on any panel of any metal
vehicle, as long as the paint has not been fractured or damaged
prior to the repair
What Size Dents Can be Repaired?
You will be able to repair most non-collision dents. The limiting
factor is the relationship between the dent's depth and diameter.
A large shallow dent is much more repairable than a small extremely
sharp dent. Door dings and hail damage can be permanently removed
without any signs of a repair. Repairs on larger dents can only
be detected by a trained eye. Most customers are truly amazed
and become desirable repeat customers.
Is Paintless Dent Removal Covered by Insurance?
Absolutely. Insurance companies have embraced PDR. The fast,
uncomplicated service saves money on paint, materials, and rental
cars. Minor dents, such as door dings and shopping cart dents
cost less to remove than a typical insurance deductible.
Are Dings Only Removed from Doors?
Our technician will remove dings from all panels including the
car's roof, trunk, and hood.
Do you Have to Remove a Door Panel?
No we do not. We have specially designed metal tools that slide
behind collision bracing.
Does the System Use Dry Ice?
There is a nationwide perception that dents disappear when you
place dry ice on the surface of a heated dent. Because each
dent varies in size, shape, depth, and location, dents cannot
be removed using this method.. Our system does not use any heating
or cooling.
How Long does a Repair Take?
Individual dings take from 5-30 minutes depending on their size
and location.
