1.
What is paintless dent repair?
The
paintless dent repair process is the art of removing minor dings,
dents, and creases from a vehicle, while maintaining the integrity of
the factory or custom paint finish. PDR allows expert technicians to
transform the damaged area back to its original condition without the
need for costly body fillers, sanding, and painting typically used by
traditional body repair shops, while saving you time and money.
2.
How does the paintless dent repair process work?
Using
innovative tools and the latest in state-of-the-art technology, expert
technicians are able to reach behind a damaged panel and by applying
pressure gently massage the damaged area to restore it to its original
bodyline.
3.
What types of damage can be repaired using the PDR process?
The basic
factors that determine whether or not the damaged area(s) can be
repaired with the PDR process include the size, depth, and location of
the damage. Good candidates for this process include:
Smooth, shallow dings, dents, and creases ranging in diameter from
dime-sized to basketball-sized; and Dents in plastic bumpers that have
no holes, tears, or paint damage and are still fully affixed to the
vehicle.
4.
Will the paintless dent repair process harm my factory or custom
finish?
With a
basic knowledge of plastic and metal properties, certified technicians
can transform the damaged area back to its original condition without
the need for costly body fillers, sanding, and painting typically
associated with conventional body shop repair work. This enables them
to restore the damaged area(s), while preserving the integrity of the
factory or custom paint finish.
5.
How much does PDR cost compared to conventional body shop repair
work?
Because the
damaged area(s) can be repaired without the need for costly body
fillers, sanding, and painting used by traditional body shops, the
cost generally runs at approximately one-third of the cost associated
with conventional body shop repair work.
The real
cost savings involves the time saved by completing repairs in minutes
or hours rather than days or even weeks required for traditional
repair work.
