Minor Dents Repair
Identifying Minor Dents
A Minor Dent is a dent that has a diameter larger than 50 mm. These dents are typically caused by impacts from baseballs and basketballs, resting elbows, hip checks, and parking lot bumper rubs. Sometimes, vehicle body lines and sharp corners near the dent result in cracked paint at the time of impact. An assessment of the dent is required. Since minor dents are larger, they take longer to work out and very often require polishing due to impact scratching.
Quick DIY Minor Dent Fixes vs Going to a Pro
Got a pesky dent on your car? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Small dents and dings are pretty standard, especially on car doors. Whether it’s from a rogue shopping cart or a careless car door, these dents can be a real eyesore. But fear not—there are ways to fix them without breaking the bank.
If you’re looking for a Quick DIY Fixes:
- Plunger: Yep, you read that right. A toilet plunger can help pop the dent out. Just make sure the plunger and the dent area are wet.
- Suction Cup: Similar to the plunger method. It can help pull the dent out.
- Boiling Water: Pour it over the dent on plastic parts, such as bumpers. It makes the material flexible enough to push the dent out.
- Hair Dryer & Compressed Air: Heat the dent with a hair dryer, then blast it with compressed air. The rapid temperature change can pop the dent.
When it’s a good idea to go to Professional Dent Removal Services:
- Paint Damage: If the paint is scratched, a repair shop might be your best bet.
- Larger Dents: For bigger dents, professional repair might be necessary.
- PDR (Paintless Dent Repair): Effective for minor dents without paint damage.
Consider the severity and location of the dent to decide your next step.

Autobody Enviro-Technology involves repairing an automobile’s exterior panels using the most environmentally friendly processes possible.
The Paintless Dent Repair process starts by gaining access to the back side 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.
The first step in removing a door ding is to polish out all impact scratches from the dent, so the painted surface is clear for massaging the dent out.
Hail Damage affects mainly 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.
