What Is Paintless Dent Repair?

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is one effective strategy to bring your car back to factory condition. What is paintless dent repair?

How Paintless Dent Repair Works

Now you know what is paintless dent repair, but how does it work? Your trained technician will go through the following steps: 

• Assess the Damage: Your technician will thoroughly assess the body panel that needs work. Because PDR fixes the dent from underneath the surface, the technician will survey the entire area for damage size and intensity. This helps to form a roadmap to move forward with the restoration process.
• Access the Dent from Behind: For most cars, PDR will happen behind the dent. This means everything from body panels to lights to interior panels will need to be moved slightly to create a way to the dent. Technicians use specialized light boards to get the best possible view of the dent, and the shadows will show exactly where pressure needs to be applied.
• Apply Gentle Pressure to the Dent: Once the dent location is identified and cleared, the technician will use dent removal tools to massage the exterior panel back to its original position. In general, this is a fast process that can take a single day. But for more extensive damage, you might need to pick up your car the next day.

Why Look to a Professional for Paintless Dent Removal?

If you have extensive experience with car care, you might be able to attempt paintless dent removal on your own. But for most Brownwood and Granbury drivers, it’s much easier and faster to let the professionals handle the job. Here are just some of the reasons that so many drivers opt for a professional PDR over DIY:

• Professionals use the latest tools to diagnose the problem and make repairs.
• Professionals are unlikely to cause damage, such as breaking a trim panel.
• Professionals are more likely to get your car looking like-new instead of just “better than before.”
