FAQ

  • What is PDR?

    PDR is short for Paintless Dent Repair. It is a method of dent removal that does not harm the factory paint during the process, It is believed to have been invented around the 1960’s and brought to USA in the late 80’s as an alternative to traditional body shop methods that require panel replacement, body fillers, and re-painting of the damaged area.

  • How does PDR work?

    A PDR technician uses specialized tools to gently maneuver a dent back to its original position.  Modern vehicles have access spaces behind the body panels that the technician can use to reach most dents.  This requires skill and precision from the technician.  Sometimes, interior panels will be removed to reach certain dents, such as a door ding. PDR tools are specifically designed to reach difficult places and are heavy-duty enough to move metal.  From there, the dent is slowly pushed out.  Special lights let the technician know when the dent is perfectly positioned.  When the dent cannot be pushed out, it has to be pulled or lifted out.  For these types of dents, a PDR glue gun is used to pull it out.  If it does not line up exactly as intended, the technician will continue maneuvering it with hand tools until it does.

  • Is PDR Safe?

    PDR is the safest way to fix a dent in almost all cases since it is non-invasive unlike the other methods of repair.  A body shop may have to use fillers and aftermarket body panels to fix a dent before painting the affected area.  With PDR, your factory paint is not harmed, and the vehicle stays 100% original.  PDR retains the full value of the vehicle as it looks as good as it did before the damage took place.  This is the reason car dealerships use PDR on their vehicles for anything from a minor dent to hail damage.

  • Will the dents return?

    No.  Once PDR is performed, the dents will not return or “Pop out” again.  It is a permanent dent fix.  A dent causes the metal to stretch and causes it to stress.  Leaving it in this state can cause further damage to the metal and paint.  When a dent is repaired with PDR, the metal is gently maneuvered back into place.  This alleviates the stress and flattens the metal back to its original state.  Since the metal is returned to the original condition, there is nothing to pop back out.

  • Is PDR Eco Friendly?

    Yes!  PDR is much more Eco friendly compared to other methods of dent repair.  Since paint is not required, there are no fumes or harsh chemicals used.  Other than the electricity in the building to run the lights and maybe a radio, there is little energy required with PDR.  It is about as Eco friendly as you can get.
