At Approved Auto Body Repair, paintless dent repair may be used to remove qualifying dents without sanding, body filler, or repainting the panel.
Our technicians in Middletown carefully access and reshape the damaged metal using specialized tools while protecting the factory paint whenever the condition of the panel allows.
PDR can be an effective option for door dings, minor creases, and certain hail dents. We will inspect the damage and determine whether paintless dent repair or conventional body repair is the better solution.
Paintless dent repair, commonly called PDR, is a method of reshaping eligible dents without sanding, body filler, or repainting. Specialized tools are used to carefully work the panel back toward its original shape.
PDR is often appropriate when the paint is still intact and the metal has not been severely stretched or torn. Dent location, depth, shape, panel access, and previous bodywork can also affect whether PDR is suitable.
Yes, when the damage qualifies for PDR, the process is designed to correct the dent while leaving the existing painted finish in place.
Conventional dent repair may involve sanding, reshaping, filler, primer, paint, and clear coat. PDR instead works the existing panel without refinishing when the condition of the dent and paint allows it.
