Hail damage and other small dents are an almost inevitable part of car ownership. But that doesn’t mean you have to accept these cosmetic blemishes.
Paintless dent repair can flatten out the surface of your vehicle and smooth out your ride. Learn how paintless dent repair works and how it can fix your vehicle’s damage, dents, and dings.
What is Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless dent repair is a process by which a technician accesses the dented area from behind, which can be through a window, by removing panels of the body or by other methods. Once the back of the dent has been reached, the technician uses a special tool to massage the dent’s outer edges back into position. The damaged area gradually gets smaller and smoother until eventually disappearing entirely.
What Are the Benefits of Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless dent repair comes with a number of advantages over other repair methods including:
Cost
No body filler, sanding or repainting is needed, so paintless dent repair is generally cheaper than alternative options.
Convenience
Paintless dent repair can typically be done much quicker than more conventional dent removal methods and you can be in and out and back on the road without too much interruption to your schedule.
Value Retention
Vehicles that still have their original paint job with no major body work performed generally retain a larger portion of their value.
Color Matching
Since there’s no need to apply new paint, there’s no concerns about color matching or leaving the shop with a noticeable difference in the damaged area.
When Can Paintless Dent Repair Be Used?
Paintless dent repair can be used to fix most dents. Exceptions are dents with very sharp edges or torn metal, dents with paint damage, dents that are near the edge of a panel and dents in areas that have had previous bodywork done.
In such cases, a different method may be used to repair your dent.
