PDR is a method of removing small dents and dings from the sheet metal panels of a vehicle using specialized hand tools to carefully reshape the damaged metal from behind. This eliminates the use of body fillers and paint, leaving the original finish of the automobile intact. PDR eliminates the need for expensive, time consuming traditional auto body work for those small dents that every car will eventually experience — like those small dings from run away shopping carts or carelessly opened doors in parking lots.

While there are no licensing or performance standards for this industry, not everyone can claim expertise in this technique. Years of experience and skill are necessary, and even then, only a few really master the art. Many technicians can make a dent look better, but DentfixExpress expert technicians make most common dings and dents disappear. It’s best to make a decision on which PDR technicians to use based on their, experience and qualifications and never be afraid to ask for referrals before trusting your car to any service provider.

No. The most important factors in determining if a dent can be repaired by PDR are depth and location. Dents the size of a dinner plate or larger may be fixed successfully, as long as they are not too deep. On the other hand, sometimes dents that are as small as a dime but very deep, may not be fixed using PDR because the metal has been stretched too far. Cracked paint can also be an indication that a dent is too deep.
