WHAT IS PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR?

Paintless Dent Repair, also known as PDR, is a practical, environmentally friendly repair procedure that restores a vehicle’s body to factory like condition in a fraction of the time. PDR may be used to remove minor dings, hail damage, dents and minor damage on your car, usually caused by doors, rocks, small accidents and hail. Although hail damage is not super common in PA, our skilled technicians specialize in hail damage for those cases that arise! PDR involves using specialized instruments to push and massage the damaged panel from behind. Consequently, the dented metal is pushed out, restoring its original shape without the need for paint. It fixes the bodywork while preserving the painted finish provided by the manufacturer. PDR is a standard option for dent repair treatments, since it is less expensive and faster than other methods. Because the repairs do not involve painting or drying, the entire Paintless Dent Repair procedure can be completed in just a few hours.

Can Paintless Dent Repair Fix Hail Damage?

Paintless dent repair is one of the best and only options for hail damage. PDR is mostly done from the inside of the affected panel, allowing for the dents to be pushed out with the proper techniques. The hail damage can be removed using metal rods to massage the dents, restoring the panel to its original form without the need to repaint or have any body work done. Hail damage can also be removed with a technique called a “glue pull” to essentially pull the dent out and back to its original form. This is only required in situations where the dent cannot be accessed from the rear. 

How Long Does Paintless Dent Repair Take?

Because the method is so effective, paintless dent repair should be completed relatively quick. Paintless dent repair is a meticulous technique that might take up to two hours to complete correctly. Most of the time, you’ll be able to drive your car home the same day you drop it off for repair, but it may take a little longer in severe dent cases. PDR, in general, takes less time than many other types of car repair.
