Why Insurance Companies
Prefer Paintless Dent
Repair (PDR)

Unlike traditional body shop repairs, PDR doesn’t require sanding, fillers, or repainting, making it a more efficient and effective solution.

If your insurance company suggests traditional repairs, ask them about PDR as an alternative—it’s often the better choice.

Clients’ feedback

OUTSTANDING craftsmanship.  Ian was very professional and did an amazing job.  I was unsure if anyone could get the ding/dent out of my new car because it was literally right on a ridge but this company did.  It’s like it was never there.  Highly recommend!

Tommy Neeley

Ian is a wizard! I was told by several other businesses that my dents couldnt be repaired and I would need an entirely new hood which i had given up hope on and was just going to live with it, and then when I had a dent put in my trunk i started searching for a real expert and boy did I find one!

If you’ve got a dent, you’ve got a problem and Ian with Appearance 1st Automotive is the solution!  I thought for sure this damage was going to take days and cost me and arm and a leg, but Ian worked his magic in only a few hours and was also affordable.

Chris Skeens

Ian is a true professional. My Porsche had a deep crease that other shops said couldn’t be fixed with PDR—he made it disappear completely!
