A relatively new concept, paintless dent repair (PDR) offers several surprising advantages. You may be better able to make an informed decision about how to repair the dents and dings on your vehicle if you have some background information.
PDR is a technique for repairing small indents on vehicles that may result from damage such as hail. People who live in cities that experience hail storms are familiar with hail damage, which occurs most often to vehicles and roofs.
Hail damage is often caused by a large number of small hailstones hitting a vehicle like a dump truck unloading a load of pea gravel. Hail can sometimes be predicted, but can also strike suddenly, e.g. while you are at work, with your car parked in an open lot, and the damage is done before you can get the vehicle under cover.
Hail can be a real problem for your car or truck. This form of repair does not damage the paint surface of your vehicle, making it quite ingenious. Paintless dent repair professionals approach the damaged areas from the inside. Accessing areas like the inside panels of your doors is quite difficult, but the technician has access to lifts and all of the special tools required to gain access quickly, without further damaging your vehicle.
When the technician reaches the inner walls, he or she has an array of special tools designed to fit precisely into the dent. As they apply pressure with that tool, they also apply equalizing pressure from the outside so that the dent will be effectively erased from the metal. By applying outside pressure, the tool is prevented from overcorrecting the dent and pushing it too far, thus weakening the metal structure. You can DIY paintless dent repair, but do not recommend it due to the costs your vehicle could incur if you further damage it!
Now that you know what paintless dent repair is, and what types of damage it can fix, here are a few benefits it offers:
#1 Benefit of PDR: Cost-Effective Repair
Dents can be repaired far more cost-effectively with paintless dent repair than with regular dent repair. Additionally, you can also maintain the value of your vehicle by preserving the original coat of paint while saving money on service costs.
#2 Benefit of PDR: Fast Service
PDR is a faster method of repairing dents than painting. Your vehicle may only require a few hours to a few days to be repaired, as opposed to sitting in a mechanic's shop for a few weeks.
