Watch on YouTube → Book a Consultation →A brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLE450 had an unfortunate run-in with a plastic fence post — and both doors paid the price. With a teen driver on the insurance policy, the owners wanted to avoid an insurance claim, a traditional body shop, weeks without the vehicle, and a possible CarFax hit. That's when they called Appearance 1st Automotive.
To repair this Mercedes the right way, we completely dismantled and removed the doors — no shortcuts. Over 20 hours of careful work went into restoring both panels to a factory-level finish, with no body filler and no repainting.
The end result: no CarFax report, no unnecessary loss in vehicle value, the car back on the road in days instead of weeks, and one very happy client. If your Mercedes-Benz has a door ding or large, ugly dents, we'd love to bring it back to perfection.

In this video you'll watch as the dent is carefully massaged out from behind the panel, plus a door ding removed with glue pulling, restoring the factory shape like it was never there. No paint damage, no body filler, and no repainting — just pure precision craftsmanship.

Aluminum takes more effort to straighten than steel, but this dent had perfect access and line of sight to repair. Someone door-karate-chop your car? We can help.

Watch on YouTube → Book a Consultation →This client bought a BRAND NEW Ram 1500 Laramie not even a week ago, and somebody in their driveway dented their door.
We used Paintless Dent Repair methods to remove the dent, then lightly polished the panel to remove the transfer mark. Completed while the client waited — no need for a body shop. Send photos for a quick evaluation: from door dings, dents, and creases to hail damage and minor damage insurance claims.

We have been removing dings, dents, and even body damage from Porsches since 2007. We'd love to remove the dents from yours next!

Watch on YouTube → Book a Consultation →This 2025 Porsche Macan smashed its door in when a Target shopping cart got a little too close. Instead of spending WEEKS at a body shop, we repaired it with a Paintless Dent Repair method called Paintless Collision Repair and returned it to the Porsche dealership the NEXT DAY!
Not all damage needs a body shop. Paintless Dent Repair and Paintless Collision Repair can handle WAY more than just door dings. To repair this damage at a Porsche-Certified body shop would have been over $12,000 to meet Porsche repair standards, and required most of the vehicle to be disassembled and repainted.
If you have large or complex dents with minimal or no paint damage, we'd love to give you a quick evaluation to determine if Paintless Dent Repair can save you time and your vehicle's value.

Watch on YouTube → Book a Consultation →Hail damage can destroy your vehicle — look how bad one side of this hood looks! We repaired half of it to show exactly what's possible with PDR.
Paintless Dent Repair is a time-efficient and cost-effective way to have your hail-damaged vehicle restored to like-new in a fraction of the time a body shop would take — saving your original paint and body panels, your vehicle's structural integrity (no roof being chopped off), and your time.
Most hail-damaged vehicles can be repaired in one day, even severe hail damage that hasn't broken the paint. If your vehicle has been damaged by hail, we'd be happy to fix it.

We removed this damage with Paintless Dent Repair, which saved the owner weeks of downtime at a body shop and thousands compared to traditional body repairs. Now they can get back to racing instead of waiting on a body shop.

Watch on YouTube → Book a Consultation →Part 1: While waiting to have the window tint replaced, a neighbor of the tint shop backed over the fender of this all-original Acura NSX. Normally this would need a new fender — can Paintless Dent Repair fix it?
Part 2: What a challenging repair. Deep scratches and a small break in the paint, a thin and springy aluminum panel, decades-old paint, and no margin for error on every push. Compared to the alternative of replacing the fender on a classic car, the client was ecstatic with the results.
The original finish was saved along with the original parts. No insurance claim or negative history report. Repairs completed in just one visit. Paintless Dent Repair was the superior choice to traditional body repairs.

Watch on YouTube → Book a Consultation →This Rolls-Royce Cullinan came in for a nasty crease repair. We had to remove the paint protection film to see the true extent of the damage, then used Paintless Dent Repair to straighten it — even removing the rear door for full access. It turned out amazing.
A body shop would have charged over $50,000 to fix this and taken weeks to complete. We had it done and ready for pickup the very next day.

Watch on Instagram → Book a Consultation →Paintless Dent Repair of minor collision damage saves the factory parts and paint, keeping your vehicle's value and a clean history report. A body shop would have replaced one door, repaired the other with bondo, taken half the vehicle apart, and painted the entire passenger side — that's just too much work!
Total repair time was 20 working hours, and the owner of this 2024 GLE450 was ecstatic with the results. We'd love to give you, or your family and friends, amazing results as well. Appointments recommended.
