How Much is Paintless Dent Repair?
Are unsightly dents and dings taking away the beauty of your favorite car? Don’t worry! Dented will change it! Since 2005, we have been a trusted leader in the automotive repair industry, offering paintless dent repair services.
It’s a fast, cost-effective, environmentally friendly process to remove pesky dents and dings from your car.
How Much Does Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Cost
The paintless dent removal method is a specialized technique that rescues your car from dents. This means there is no need to fill or paint over the damage. During PDR, our certified technicians use professional equipment to press and massage the damaged panel from behind. As a result, the dented metal is pushed out, to restore its original shape without needing paint. The process involves specialized lighting, various handcrafted tools, keen hand/eye coordination, and years of practice. This method ensures the restoration of the original shape without altering your factory paint or replacing vehicle panels.
Here are some additional advantages and benefits of repairing your car with PDR technology:
- Quality. As if the dent had never appeared! Car straightening without painting and without the need for fillers and primers.
- Price. A small dent, costing $400 in a traditional body shop, can be fixed with PDR starting from $125 for a 1-inch diameter dent.
- Time. PDR repairs save time and can be completed in less than 2 days, compared to 4 to 6 days with traditional bodywork.
Today, PDR stands as a popular alternative to traditional paint-based methods as the quicker and more cost-effective option. In comparison, traditional repairs involve a lengthy process of paint removal, filling and priming, and painting again.
What Kind of Dents Can We Repair?
Our specialists can remove dents of different sizes, depending on their type. We also need access to the area behind the dent. Some areas cannot be repaired with PDR.
We can repair:
- Car paint chip
- Stretched dents
- Minor dents
- Door dings
- Hail, stone, and other environmental damage
- Dents from motor vehicle and sports accidents
- Dents from shopping carts and automatic car washes
If there is a complex dent or deep dent in a car which is crumpled, the metal is twisted, or the paint is deeply scratched or cracked, it most likely cannot be repaired using the paintless dent repair method. The Dented specialists will be happy to assess the dent and identify if it can be repaired.

Advantages of Auto Dent Removal Services from Dented
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE
Our vehicle repair process removes damage through our environmentally friendly process by sculpting the vehicle’s original body panels. We don’t use paint or body fillers.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Our guarantee is that all Autobody Enviro-Technology® metal sculpting will be done to the satisfaction of our clients. It is this guarantee that makes us Calgary’s Most Trusted Auto Body Shop.
AUTOBODY ENVIRO-TECHNOLOGY
Autobody Enviro-Technology involves the repair of an automobile’s exterior panels using the most environmentally friendly processes possible.
DENT REMOVAL
The Paintless Dent Repair process starts with gaining access to the backside of the dent. The dent technician will select one of the many specialty tools to massage the dent with, as the tools vary in size, shape, and strength.
DOOR DINGS
The first step in the removal of a door ding is to polish all impact scratching out of the dent, so a clear view of the painted surface can be seen for massaging out the dent.
HAIL REPAIR
Hail Damage affects mostly the horizontal panels on a vehicle: the hood, the roof, the trunk, the tops of the front fenders, and the tops of the rear quarter panels.

I like to do my homework when it comes to understanding how things work and researching the best service provider.I called in and spoke to Josh who gave me an estimate over the phone and I booked an appointment for the same day around noon.I was greeted by Emily at the reception and then the technician who took me throughout the process (I forgot their name)Within an hour they were able to get my new car back to its original condition (it was a very minor ding)I’d come back in the future if I have to get PDR done and also bring in my other car to them.Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience at Dented! I am blown away at how perfectly they repaired two big dents in the quarter panel of my Volvo, in a timely manner and at a super reasonable price. Thank you Josh and Jason for exceptional service and results! HIGHLY recommend.

Dented just completed their repairs on my car today. Anyways, long story short, the folks that I encountered at the shop were extremely professional and solid on their work ethics.That said, the folks at Dented are human like the rest of us and there were some issues, the majority of these issues were due to the Lexus' logistical supply chain, but any bumps on Dented's end was seen to immediately and professionally. How a company deals with its responsibilities and any errors on their part is the unspoken divide between a first rate professional group and one ring circus; the folks at Dented are professionals and should the need arise once again, Dented will be my first choice for repairs.

These guys are amazing. Someone door dinged my new Subaru and I couldn’t even look at it without getting upset. The team at Dented put the pleasure back into ownership. I don’t know how they managed to reverse the damage but the car is like new and I am very picky with detailing my car. A great experience and very reasonably priced! Highly recommended.

Took my 2020 F150 in to have hail damage repaired. Lots of dents. Well I got it back yesterday and it looks like a brand new truck. All dents gone, nice and clean, polished, looks great. Very happy with the work done and the service I got. VERY HAPPY INDEED. Thankyou.

Friendly, fast, quality work and great service at a fair price. I had a small dent on my driver side door, but in a questionable spot for a successful repair to be completed on my truck. Josh was very professional and the team there at Dented did an excellent job in repairing the dent on my vehicle fast and without issue. Highly recommend these guys.........

DENTED did an absolutely amazing repair of a ~10cms by ~10cms dent in the side panel of my Outback. There is no way one can tell the panel was damaged - very impressive. People at DENTED were friendly and very helpful. More importantly, my car was repaired in a week, whereas I would have to waited for up to a month for an appraisal at a body shop and then probably another month for them to complete the repair plus charge me a lot more money than DENTED. Highly recommend DENTED

Pretty fast and fair priced. Would’ve given 5 stars but they nicked the window in a few spots during the PDR process since they went through the window sill. Could’ve used tape to easily avoid this from happening.

Working me into a tight schedule that was my fault for leaving the repair til the deadline when nobody else could, the quality of the repair and the friendly and communicative service throughout. They saved my hail claim and the truck's never looked better. Seeing the classic and luxury cars in their workshop when they brought me in the back was good peace of mind and I feel like they treated my old Dodge and myself as a customer the same as they must with the higher dollar clientele that obviously come here for a reason. Come to this shop to be treated above the normal standard.Thank you

Excellent work and service at a fair price. I had 2 small dents from door dings in my new SUV. Dented did the repair work and you can’t even see where the dents were. So pleased. Nice people working there. So nice to find a good business in this economy.

I had a creased dent above my front wheel on a 2010 Camaro. I took it in to Spencer and he said they should be able to get the dent out. Within a day, they had the car in and repaired. Not only did they take the dent and crease out but managed to restore the factory car lines. The car looks as good as new. You would never know it had ever been damaged. Absolutely fantastic service from Spencer, Lokki and Joanne!! Lokki was the tech that worked on it. I can't believe what a fabulous job they did. Top notch service from beginning to end and very reasonable rates. I would highly recommend Dented to anyone needing work done.

Wow! All I can say is that the team at Dented did an absolutely amazing job repairing the dents on my bike's gas tank. I'm blown away that they were able to achieve such excellent results, especially considering the severity of the dents and the complexity of the tank. Their customer service was top-notch, and their turnaround time was fantastic! I'll definitely be returning for any future dent repair needs.

Perfect！my car has dent, but the paint was good, asked many shops and they all told me to change the fender and repaint it. But here, the original paint of the car was protected and the dent was repaired. I am very satisfied, thank you!

I was recommended to dented through my insurance (cooperators) for getting my hail damage repaired and they did an excellent job, can't tell anything ever happened and it was done right on time even though there turned out to be more work than the initial appraisal had suggested, so I am definitely satisifed. A technician came out to speak with me to clarify some things and he is clearly very honest and upfront about his work. I'll definitely be recommending them moving forward if anyone I know is in need of PDR.

Thank you very much for getting me in right away and doing a flawless repair. Such personal attention to detail. You are the pros. I’m sure the Boss won’t see the dent in his new tailgate anymore (like it never happened)

Amazing customer service!I called in asked about getting a nasty door dent fixed from my new truck. Someone decided to slam their door into mine.Joanne answered and was very helpful. When I arrived Lokki came out and did a full walk through. Pulled my truck in the back and 1 hour later my door looked like new and he removed a couple dents from my box bed also. Pricing was incredibly reasonable but the service and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations.I will be recommending this shop to everyone.Thanks again!!

I can't say enough good things about Dented. I got a quote from another dent repair place and they kept saying $1000 give or take, they kept repeating this so I knew it could possibly be allot higher. A friend recommended dented and said he had excellent work done by them. They had a look at my vehicle and quoted me over a few hundred dollars less with no "give or take". I booked with them right away. As the days were getting closer for my Appt I had another friend recommend another place that he's always gone to with his high end vehicles. He told me to go there to get a quote because they do excellent work, the jobs are perfectly done and he completely trusts them with his $100,000 plus vehicles. I dropped in and asked and the owner came out to look at the damage and immediately said no, nothing I can do and walked back inside. Then I started to worry because Dented quoted me such an amazing price how good would the job really be? I was worried if it needed to be painted?? , what if it looked only 50 %"?? , would I then have to bring it somewhere else to get more work done?? etc.. I called them to share my concerns and questions and thank god for Joanne, the office mger,,,, Amazing women. She could hear my stress and worry. Joanne was so sweet and calm, she answered all my questions and the "what ifs". When I hung up I was so happy. I stopped by while my vehicle was there with a paint pen Incase of little touch ups to the dent (which they can do, free of charge), while there Joanne took me to the back where they were working on my vehicle and had shown me what was done so far. It was beyond my expectations, it looked perfect. I also had some scratches on my 3m front bumper that I thought I would have to Peel off and replace but they buffed that out at no charge and that looked perfect, plus fixed another dent. I sent the pics of my finished vehicle to the friend with the luxury vehicles and he now will be coming here. Don't bother to shop around for quotes. Just come here. They will exceed your expectations.

I just brought my newly purchased Santa Fe to Dented to remove a ding on my rear quarter panel. Lokki met with me, discussed how the repair would be done, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. I am extremely happy with the repair; Lokki is an artist, and I can’t tell there was ever any damage.I highly recommend Dented. Very friendly staff and highly quality workmanship. Five stars!

My husband spoke with Spencer on a Wednesday and told Spencer that we had a dent on our car and that we needed it dealt with before Saturday. He told us to bring it in on Thursday and had it looking like new by Friday. Everyone there was so friendly and we both highly recommend that you take your vehicle there for any dents that you may have. They are also amazing when it comes to hail damage

DENTED did a fantastic job with the aluminum door panel of my Ford F150. They were very professional and genuinely wanted to help me avoid having to get my door replaced at a body shop after a low speed rub I had. Highly recommended I was amazed at what they were able to do! See the pictures.

My son’s car was the victim of a hit and run in a parking lot. Large dent in the front bumper. Immediately thought $$$ thousands of dollars in repairs. The vehicle is 10 years old so spending a load of cash was not reasonable. I called Dented at the recommendation of a good friend and previous Dented customer. The crew at Dented did such an amazing job I could not believe it!! Very affordable, amazing work! Highly recommend calling them before you consider anyone else!!

I recently went here with my dad, hoping to get some of the dents in his car fixed. The technician describe the work they can do and what is expected. In the end the work they did on the car was exactly as they described and perhaps even better. If you need to get a dent fixed, this is the perfect place to go. Highly recommended!

I had some large dents from sliding off a rv pad into a couple trees. A few scratches from my dog from jumping out the window and a few smaller dings that were there when purchased Spencer and the dented team took everything out. Very well priced and was complete in one day. A fantastic experience. $300 cheap than the competition. They even installed a side mirror I had purchased for nothing.

I was referred to Dented (Calgary) by great long-time (1967) Calgary auto body business, Hallmark Auto Body, as the damage was minimal and they thought Dented should have a look at it. Got the repair done by Dented and they did a terrific job. They are professional, friendly, got my car in quickly, and finished the job quickly at a reasonable cost. Awesome quality of work and people. Highly recommended.

My daughter had a minor accident that left her passenger door dented. I called and emailed photos to several places. Some didn't reply back at all, others quoted me very high, and some told me that it would have to go to an autobody shop. Dented was quick to reply, very courteous, and provided me with an extremely competitive price. The work was completed on time, and far exceeded all of my expectations. The door literally looks better than before the accident. No defects, no painting required, all scratches buffed out, and absolutely PERFECT. Huge shout-out to Spencer at Dented!! I recommend this place to everyone in Calgary. I rate it 11/10.

I had a crease in my truck fender about 2 feet long on my aluminum body F150. No damage to the paint but the long crease was noticeable. Miracle workers would describe what these folks did - it is completely gone and like brand new. They are not only great at what they do, they are all very friendly, timely and affordable.

Took my car in for hail damage and had such an amazing experience. Lokki did the estimate and Spencer did the repair. Both were very honest about how the repair may not be perfect due to a bad repair job done on the car in the past. The work was done in less than a day and I couldn't be happier with the results. When I picked up the car, Spencer pointed out some of the imperfections but I really couldn't see them. 100% recommend for any repairs.

A++++ work. They are quick, efficient and do great work. I was in within the week and told it would take a day and a half. They had the work done (hail damage) earlier than expected and even cleaned the inside and out of the car!! The dealership I bought it from didn't even do that. They were great to deal with and if you need work done, I wouldn't hesitate to have them do it. Thank you for the great work!

My mom recently got two shopping cart dents and the auto body shop quoted $1,200 to repair each one. Saw the Dent Force ad on Global and decided to give them a try. Received a quote for $300 to repair both dents. They were very friendly and completed the repairs the next day. My mom was very thrilled with their service and their quality of work. She couldn't tell where the original dents were. Very good quality for small dings and dents. Definitely recommend them.

It hailed in Calgary and my SUV sustained damage from the hood to the tailgate. My insurer arranged for the assessment at Dent Force, and I witnessed a clean, well organized, and efficient shop for the 30 minutes I watched as they inspected every mark on my vehicle. Thorough work and great advice when I asked bodywork related questions. I left my vehicle with them that day, and they completed the job within days, meeting their delivery date and returning my SUV looking better than it has in years. Professional and friendly with great quality. It's not often you see a business run so well. Bring your bodywork here. You won't regret it.

A few weeks after getting a new vehicle, my wife ended up with a door ding. After shopping around and getting a few quotes, I decided to get the door ding fixed at Dent Force. Dent Force did an excellent job of removing the door ding. It's like the door ding never happened. They also helped take care of a paint scratch. I would not hesitate to use Dent Force again. 5 stars!

I worked late and they had stored my truck inside and until I got it the next day. The temp was -20 so that was pretty sweet! I got rid of some nasty dents via their Paintless Dent Repair. Thanks!!
