The Better Way to Repair the Right Dent

REPAIR THE DENT.PRESERVE THE FINISH.

Paintless Dent Repair is a specialized repair process used to restore qualifying dents without conventional body filler, sanding and repainting.

A skilled PDR technician carefully manipulates the vehicle's metal back toward its original shape while preserving the existing painted finish whenever the damage is appropriate for PDR.

  • Preserves Factory Paint

    No repainting means no color-match concerns and retained OEM finish.

  • No Body Filler

    PDR restores the metal itself — no fillers or compounds on qualifying repairs.

  • No Repainting Required

    For qualifying damage, the original paint surface is maintained throughout.

  • Precise Repair

    Technicians use reflected light to read and address each distortion individually.

  • Efficient Process

    PDR typically requires less time than conventional body repair for qualifying damage.

Not every dent can be repaired using PDR. An evaluation will determine whether PDR is appropriate for your damage.

SEE THE DAMAGEDIFFERENTLY.

PDR is precision work.

Experienced technicians use reflected light to read subtle distortion in a vehicle's surface and understand how the metal has moved.

The repair happens beneath the surface.

The result is what matters above it.

What to do after hail damage

  1. Document the damage

    Photograph all affected panels before anything changes.

  2. Contact your insurance company

    Report the loss to your carrier when appropriate.

  3. Have the damage professionally evaluated

    An experienced PDR technician can assess whether PDR is appropriate.

  4. Determine whether PDR is appropriate

    Not all hail damage qualifies — paint condition and dent depth matter.

  5. Coordinate repair

    Schedule service and coordinate with your insurer as needed.

Dent Force works with insurance companies and can help customers understand the repair side of the claims process.

We had about 50 cars hit twice within two months. Peter helped us through both insurance claims by negotiating the correct amount with the insurance companies. He repaired all the cars and we were able to sell them. He was a great person to work with and would not hesitate to recommend him.

On August 18th, 2017 we got hit with a hailstorm that damaged 255 of our vehicles. Peter came to our dealership that evening and helped us assess and organize the loss so we would be prepared for the insurance adjuster the next morning. He arranged a building for the repairs and worked with our insurance adjuster on the loss. We started repairs the following Monday and Dent Force completed its work by September 20th. Peter is very professional and trustworthy and I would recommend Dent Force to anyone.
