What is Paintless Dent Repair?

 

Paintless Car Dent Repair Basics

Paintless car dent repair works exactly as the name suggests- it's a handy method that service technicians use to remove dents and dings from your vehicle without damaging the exterior paint. However, since there's no repainting involved, this method isn't feasible for heavier-duty damage that has scratched off the paint finish or made a deep abrasion on your vehicle exterior.  

Here's a quick overview of the repair process:

1. The technician will gain access to the point of damage by removing any necessary parts of your vehicle like a window or a back panel.
2. The technician will inspect and assess the level of damage to determine what kind of tools to use and how to best get the dent or ding out of your vehicle.
3. The technician will use a specialized set of tools to "massage" the dent out of the damaged area and smooth it back to normal.
4. The technician will replace any parts they removed. You're ready to get back on the South Elgin roads!

How Much Does Dent Repair Cost? 

Now that we've gone over how paintless car dent repair works, you're probably asking yourself, "How much does dent repair cost?" After all, if a dent or ding is minor enough, you might think that it's a better idea to pass on service and leave the imperfection in place. 

However, there's no need to worry-since there's no need to repaint your vehicle or perform more invasive repairs, PDR is actually quite affordable. In fact, it's probably the most affordable type of repair you can make on your vehicle, since the service team won't have to replace any parts or replace the exterior paint finish. 

There's no set price for paintless dent repair, but service experts generally agree that repairing a small ding will cost you anywhere from $75 to $125. More significant damage is naturally more expensive to repair, running from $150 to $450. Our service team can give you a more specific estimate once we assess the damage to your vehicle. It's also likely that your insurance will cover some or all of the cost of car dent repair.
