Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

Paintless dent repair (PDR) is how we remove most hail dents, door dings, and creases without sanding, filler, or a respray. Technicians work the metal back from behind the panel — or with glue-pull access when tools cannot reach — so the factory paint stays on the car.

When PDR is the right repair

PDR works when the paint is intact and the metal can be massaged back. That is most hail damage in Colorado Springs, plus parking-lot dings and many creases. It keeps the original finish, which matters for value and for avoiding blend panels at a body shop.

When PDR is not the right repair

Cracked or chipped paint, sharp stretched metal, some prior body filler, and certain severe aluminum hits need a different plan. We say that on the estimate. We specialize in hail and dent work. We will not sell a paintless repair that will not hold.

How the process works in the shop

1. Free estimate under shop lighting so dents are visible.
2. Access: inner panels, or glue pull when the back of the panel is closed off.
3. Push and knockdown (and glue pull where needed) until the surface reads smooth.
4. Final check in good light before the vehicle leaves.

Time and cost

A single ding can be a short shop visit. Hail across a hood or a whole vehicle takes longer — often 1–3 days, longer if the storm was heavy. Insurance comprehensive claims cover most hail PDR when approved. Private-pay dings are quoted at the estimate.

Warranty

Completed PDR is covered by our lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.
