Many drivers have heard about the specialized dent repair technology known as PDR (Paintless Dent Repair). However, not everyone knows what kind of results to expect from such restorative work. The Dented team answers the most common questions.
Will the Dent Be Completely Unnoticeable After Using PDR Technology?
The outcome depends on the extent of the damage and the technician’s expertise. A high-quality paintless dent repair performed by professional technicians can make most minor defects nearly invisible. More severe damage might not be perfectly fixed, but a skilled technician can significantly smooth it out.
Before starting the repair, ask the technician about the expected final result. Our company’s specialists can make predictions and estimate the scope of work by examining photos and videos of the damage. This approach saves you time — you won’t even need to visit our workshop.
How Will the Car Look After Repairing Hail Damage?
If your car has been damaged by hail, PDR technology should smooth out all the dents and make them unnoticeable. Painting the surface is done separately (in some cases, a localized touch-up is sufficient).
If some damage can’t be brought to a perfect condition, the technician should highlight this.
Can Dents Reappear After PDR Repair?
No. A professional paintless dent repair using PDR technology restores the metal body of the car to its original shape. The dents will be completely eliminated.
If a Perfect Result Can’t Be Achieved, Is PDR Repair Worth It?
The decision is up to you. Simply weigh the result against the cost of the work. Many of our clients prefer to use a car with minor defects remaining from the dents (no more than 5–10% of the original damage) rather than repaint the entire body panel in a conventional auto repair shop.
Should PDR Be Used If the Paint Is Already Damaged?
Again, this decision is yours as the car owner. If there is a small scratch or chip in the paint, it won’t prevent the technician from repairing the dent. Afterward, you have two options — either touch up the paint locally or visit a traditional body shop to repaint the entire body part.
