What is paintless dent removal?
PDR, also known as paintless dent removal, is a technique of repairing car dents by reshaping the vehicle's body panels. Paintless dent repair is a great alternative to traditional dent removal methods because it is cheaper and more efficient. At Elite Auto Body, our Quality technicians have a streamlined PDR process and use special tools to repair small dents. With paintless dent repair, the dented panel is pushed out and massaged from behind to restore its original shape without needing a paint finish or body filler (this technique is called dent pulling). If you live in Gambrills, MD, Annapolis, MD, Severna Park, MD, Crofton, MD, Glen Burnie, MD or beyond, do not hesitate to come to Elite Auto Body in Anne Arundel County if you would like your minor dents repaired with PDR.
What kinds of dents can be repaired with paintless dent removal?
Whether your vehicle has standard dents and dings, hail damage, or door dings, most dents can be repaired using PDR. Paintless dent removal is great for removing a variety of dents, but there are some factors to consider to determine if PDR is right for your vehicle's dent. At Elite Auto Body in Gambrills and Annapolis, we can quickly assess if we can repair your dent with PDR and go over your options with you. We will never perform services without your consent.
Here are some factors to look out for to see if the dent can be repaired with paintless dent removal:
- Creasing in the dent: If the dent is creased, it probably cannot be repaired with paintless dent removal alone. There will still be a ridge after the dent is smoothed out, and if this ridge is large it will need to be repaired with traditional dent repair methods.
- The depth of the dent: The deeper the dent, the less likely it can be repaired with PDR. Automotive paint only has so much flexibility, and if the dent is deep the paint will probably be chipped or cracked.
Larger dents that cannot be repaired with PDR can be filled in with body filler, a putty-like substance that is used to smooth the vehicle's surface and then covered with the vehicle's original paint.
