Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless dent repair is the modern approach to repairing dents. Unlike the traditional process of repairing the dents and dings on your vehicle, the PDR process can be a lot quicker. Since lesser materials are used in the PDR process, it can be a lot more affordable. 

When your car goes for a PDR, the dent specialist starts by cleaning the car’s body at first. When the body of the car has been cleaned, the dent specialist looks at your car under a special PDR light. This part of the process can reveal the dents and dings your car has sustained over time. Once this is done, they massage the dents and dings on your car from the back until the car’s original shape has been restored. 

Since this process is simple, many of the cars  are repaired within hours or on the same day if the damage is not extensive. Compared to PDR, the traditional method uses a body-filler and a car paint for the procedure, which can take days. 

The Benefits of PDR

It’s Affordable

Since the PDR process uses lesser materials unlike the traditional process that uses body fillers and paint, it is a lot more affordable. The dent specialist has to put in less work and the repair can be completed in a few hours if it fits the criteria for PDR. In most cases, if you have car insurance, your insurer can pay for this repair, too.

It’s Good for Your Car

When your car is shipped from the factory over to you, it comes with its’ original paint coating. This coating is sometimes hard to be a complete match if your car has to be repainted due to scratches or dings. However, when your car goes for a paintless dent repair, the original paint is not compromised.  Therefore, it will not lose its value. The PDR process is so beneficial for your car that insurers recommend their clients to get a PDR for their car.
