What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
PDR reshapes dents without using filler, sanding, or repainting. This process keeps the factory finish and works when the paint surface is intact. It is suitable for typical candidates like door dings, hail dimples, and shallow parking-lot dents.
When is conventional repair needed for car hail damage?
Conventional repair and refinishing may be required if the panels have stretched metal, cracked paint, or sharp body-line dents. PDR requires the technician to be able to reach the back of the dent and have an intact paint surface.
How is the estimate for car hail damage determined?
A local pro builds the estimate by counting damage panel by panel under proper lighting. This method allows for an accurate assessment of the damage before any repair work begins.
What to do next
- Verify if the paint surface is intact before seeking a paintless dent repair estimate.
- Ask the local pro to count damage panel by panel under proper lighting.
- Confirm if the dent is a typical PDR candidate, such as a door ding or hail dimple.
- Request the pro to confirm they are independent and insured.
