A dent is no fun, but getting it fixed isn’t as big a deal as you might fear. The professionals at Zimbrick Body Shop can get you paintless dent removal and paintless dent repair that will have your ride looking as good as new.

What Causes Dents?

Dents are caused when your vehicle collides with something: other vehicles, objects, animals, hail, or even itself. Hail can cause small dents all over a vehicle’s surface, and high winds can cause tree branches or other debris to hit a vehicle and dent it. You can get a dent when the wind pulls the car door away from someone in a parking lot, and it slams out into yours, or when your child gets too close with a bike handle, or even by mechanical problems such as a loose hood or trunk latch.

If you have a dent in your car, your best bet is to take it to a professional for dent removal.

What’s Involved in Dent Removal?

Dent removal involves pushing or pulling the dent out. Paintless dent repair, or PDR, is often used to remove those minor dents that often happen in parking lots (or your driveway). PDR technicians use various tools, including suction cups, rods, and hooks, to push or pull the dent out from the inside. This is done without damaging the paint, which is why PDR is a more cosmetically-friendly option than traditional dent removal.

PDR is relatively new, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years. This is partly due to the fact that PDR is fast and easy. It costs less than traditional dent removal, and, most of the time, you can be in and out of the body shop in just one day. 

Do I Need Professional Help?

Professionals can assess the damage and choose the best method for removing the dent. Professionals can often remove the dent without having to paint the car, saving you money and time. 

However, if it’s not possible to use PDR, a professional will have the tools in hand to deal with large, difficult dents and still return your car –and its paint job – to its former pristine condition.
