Not every dent is a paintless dent. Knowing the difference helps you avoid paying for more than you need. Here's how we decide.
Choose PDR when…
- The paint is intact (not cracked or chipped)
- The dent is a smooth dish or crease, not a sharp fold
- You want to keep your original factory finish
That covers most hail damage, door dings and everyday minor dents. Learn more about paintless dent repair.
Panel beating makes sense when…
The paint is broken, there's rust, or the metal is torn or badly stretched. In those cases a traditional repair and respray is the right call, and we'll tell you honestly if that's what your car needs.
