Paintless Dent Repair Services

No matter the damage your vehicle has experienced, whether mild or severe, these damages take away from your car’s aesthetics. Extensive damages can also affect the resale value of your vehicle, which is always upsetting. Luckily, Paintless dent repair, or PDR, is an excellent fix for these damages.

PDR debunks the common misconception that dent repair is expensive and time-consuming. However, our experts at Turk’s Collision Center can fix your dent quickly without you spending a fortune. We have created this informative article to explain more about PDR and answer the questions we often get from our clients concerning the topic.

What is Paintless Dent Repair?

A paintless dent repair is a pocket-friendly and non-invasive technique for removing dents from vehicles. When done correctly, it improves a car’s exterior appearance and value.

This technique nuzzles any dent hollow in the car’s metal panel back to its original shape. Experts typically use specialized tools to remove the visible dents on the vehicle’s body panel.

PDR is a better alternative when compared to replacement panels, which are time-consuming and expensive to repair. It is worth mentioning that while conventional repair methods may improve the car’s appearance, this comes at the cost of the vehicle’s value. The conventional repair methods invalidate the factory finish warranty, which is reflected in your car’s Carfax report.

Phases of the PDR Process

Before repairing a car, our team of experts goes through the PDR stages to ensure quality control.

1. Problem Evaluation

At this stage, we identify the dents and estimate their size. After assessing the extent of the damage, our experts will decide whether PDR is the best repair method.

2. Dent Access

Sometimes, technicians may need to disassemble the vehicle’s exterior parts to access the inner sections where the dent is hidden from view. Technicians will take advantage of specialized tools which cut down on time.

3. Dent Assessment

Before fixing the cavity, our technicians need a clearer view of the dent. Technicians use LED lighting as this helps analyze the extent of the dent. Light also ensures a technician can evaluate how much effort is needed to flatten the dent.

4. Massaging the Dent

During this final stage of the PDR phase, a technician will exert pressure on the rear side of the dent using specialized equipment. The process must be done gently to avoid damaging the metal panels. Sometimes, a deeper dent will require more steps and more time to repair.
