Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is paintless dent removal and, how does it work?

    Paintless dent removal (PDR) is a technique used to repair minor dents and dings in a vehicle’s bodywork without the need for repainting or fillers. It works by gently massaging the damaged area from behind the panel using specialised tools to restore the metal to its original shape. This method is suitable for dents where the paint surface hasn’t been cracked, chipped or stretched too far. It’s commonly used for small dents from hail, parking lot mishaps or minor bumps. Because it preserves the factory paint, PDR is a faster, less invasive and more cost-effective alternative to traditional body repair methods.

  • What types of dents can be fixed with paintless dent removal?

    Paintless dent removal is ideal for shallow, smooth dents where the paint has not been broken. These include hail damage, door dings, small creases, shopping trolley impacts and minor bumps caused by low-speed contact. The dent needs to be accessible from behind the panel, and the metal must not be too stretched or creased. PDR is not suitable for large or jagged dents, damage to panel edges or dents where the paint is chipped, cracked or peeling. An experienced technician will assess whether a specific dent is a good candidate for PDR based on its location, size and depth.

  • Is paintless dent removal cheaper than traditional dent repair?

    Yes, paintless dent removal is generally more affordable than traditional dent repair methods. Since there’s no need for sanding, body fillers, or repainting, the labour and materials involved are significantly reduced. PDR also has shorter turnaround times, which helps keep labour costs down. However, the exact cost depends on the size and location of the dent, as well as how accessible it is. While PDR is not a solution for all types of damage, it offers excellent value when suitable, preserving the vehicle’s original paint and resale value while avoiding a costly full-panel respray.
