How Exactly Does Paintless Dent Repair Work?
You may have heard of paintless dent repair but what is it exactly and is it right for your vehicle? We’re here to break down the techniques and process of what we do step by step to help you better understand why it might be a perfect solution for your vehicle.
Assessment: We carefully inspect the dent to evaluate its size, location, and depth to determine whether the damage is suitable for paintless dent repair based on these factors.
Access: To access the backside of the dent, we may need to remove interior panels, trim pieces, or utilize existing openings such as doors, windows, or the trunk. This allows us to reach the damaged area from behind.
Repair Process: Using specialized tools designed for PDR, we gradually massage and manipulate the metal around the dent. This involves applying pressure to specific points to gradually push the dent out. The process requires skill, precision, and patience to ensure the metal is reshaped without causing any further damage.
Finishing Touches: Once the dent is pushed out, we may perform additional shaping and smoothing to ensure the surface is restored to its original contour. This usually involves using smaller, more refined tools to address any remaining imperfections.
Quality Check: After the repair is complete, we thoroughly inspect the area to ensure the dent has been fully repaired and the surface is smooth. We’ll also check for any paint damage or other issues that may need to be addressed.
Benefits of Paintless Dent Repair include:
Cost-effectiveness: PDR is often less expensive than traditional dent repair methods because it eliminates the need for extensive labor and repainting.
Time-saving: PDR typically takes less time than traditional dent repair, allowing you to get your vehicle back on the road sooner.
Preservation of Original Paint: Since PDR does not involve repainting, the original factory paint finish is preserved, maintaining the value and appearance of the vehicle.
Environmentally Friendly: PDR produces less waste and avoids the use of harmful chemicals associated with repainting, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
