What is paintless dent repair?

Paintless dent repair, often shortened to PDR, removes a dent without sanding, filling or repainting the panel. It only works when the paint is still intact, and the original finish stays on the car.

How it works

A technician works behind the panel with specialist tools and eases the metal back into shape a little at a time. Light and reflection guides the work, so the surface is checked as the dent lifts.

Quick answers

Does PDR damage the paint?

No, it works with the paint as it is. It only suits dents where the paint has not cracked.

How long does PDR take?

Minor bodywork is done within 24 hours at the workshop. Send a photo and we will confirm the time for your dent.

Can every dent be done this way?

No. Creases, cracked paint and some panel edges need conventional repair with refinishing, and we tell you from your photo which route applies.

Will a PDR repair be visible afterwards?

A well-judged repair leaves the panel looking as it did before, because the original paint is untouched. We tell you honestly if a dent is too deep to lift fully.
