PDR works best on rounded dents caused by hail, parking lot dings, door dings, and minor impacts where the paint is still intact. Sharp creases, dents with paint damage, or dents on panel edges may require traditional repair.No. That is the core advantage of PDR — no sanding, fillers, or repainting. Our tools work from behind the panel to restore the metal's original shape without touching the painted surface.Yes, but aluminum requires specialized training and tools because it behaves differently than steel. Our technicians are certified for aluminum PDR, which is increasingly common on modern vehicles.No. Once the metal is properly massaged back to shape, it stays in place permanently. PDR restores the metal to its factory position — not a temporary fix.
Most single PDR repairs are completed in 1–3 hours. Hail damage with multiple dents across several panels may take a full day or more. We complete most jobs the same day you drop off.Significantly. PDR typically costs 50–70% less than traditional bodywork for eligible dents because it eliminates materials (primer, filler, paint) and dramatically reduces labor time.PDR for hail damage is typically covered under comprehensive insurance with no deductible in many cases. For parking lot dings, coverage depends on your policy. We provide insurance-ready documentation.Bring your vehicle in for a free assessment.
