Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
Hail damage, door dings, and minor collision dents don't always need a full repaint. Paintless dent repair (PDR) gently massages the metal back into shape from behind the panel, preserving your factory paint finish, saving time, and costing less than traditional bodywork.

Our PDR Process
Free Inspection
We check the dent's size, depth, and paint condition to confirm PDR is the right fit.
Access & Technique Selection
Technicians access the panel from behind and select the right tools for the dent's shape.
Careful Metal Massaging
The metal is gradually worked back to its original contour without disturbing the paint.
Final Inspection
We check the panel under multiple lighting angles to confirm a smooth, factory-look finish.
Insurance & Your Right to Choose
California drivers — not the insurance company — have the right to choose where their vehicle is repaired. We work with all major carriers and handle claim paperwork, supplements, and communication so your repair is completed correctly.
