What should I do today if someone dented my car at Walmart?
Take photos of the dent and the other car if you have them, and note the time and location. Send the photos for a free photo estimate before driving in, since paint that is still unbroken is the best case for paintless dent repair. Ask the pro whether the dent can be reached from behind the panel.
Is paintless dent repair cheaper than a body shop repaint?
Yes, when the paint is not broken, paintless dent repair is generally the lower-cost option. Conventional body repair with repainting for a similar dent is listed at about $265 to $525. Medium dents in Omaha are commonly quoted at $200 to $400.
What should I check when hiring a dent repair pro?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Nebraska does not issue a person-level auto-body technician license, so check the shop's experience and certifications. ASE certifications, including B2 Painting and Refinishing and B3 Non-Structural Analysis and Damage Repair, are a good thing to verify.
Can the work be done the same day?
Many Omaha-area paintless dent repair jobs finish the same day, and some small repairs take as little as one hour. Mobile repair can be done at your location in some cases. Confirm scheduling and Spanish-language support when you request a quote.
