What is PDR?

Paintless dent removal (PDR) is a technique believed to have first been used in the 1940s in German automobile manufacturing plants to remove dents that occurred while cars were still on the assembly line.

It has come a long way since then, but it remains the best way to remove minor dents without the cost of repainting and the difficulty of matching sometimes faded colors. Dents are removed without touching the original finish.

Paintless dent removal uses special tools that allow the trained technician to work on the underside of the metal and gently massage it back to its original shape. The bodies of today’s cars are formed under intense pressure, giving the metal "memory" regarding the car’s original shape. An auto repaired using paintless dent removal techniques can be returned to its original shape without using paint or fillers, and the repair can be done more quickly and less expensively than with body shop techniques. Typically, we will not keep your vehicle more than 3 days to complete the dent removal.
