How does PDR work?

Dents are carefully removed by inserting rods behind the damaged panel and skilfully working the metal back to its original shape without damaging the exterior paintwork

This form of repair is invisible and restores the vehicle to its true original condition without the use of fillers and after market paints. Provided only that the original paint finish remains unbroken, Paintless Dent Removal can be applied both steel and aluminium body panels.

This makes it suitable for almost all makes and models of cars and light vans both new and old. PDR can be used on dents up to around the size of a football. Some 90% of the total vehicle bodywork area including bonnets, doors, tailgates, front and rear wings and roofs (including hail damage) can be repaired in this way.

What are the Benefits of PDR?

Paintless Dent Removal is quick, repairs are invisible and don’t carry the risk of poor colour matching or overspray that can result from traditional respraying.

Being a mobile service Paintless Dent Removal can be carried out at your home or place of work at a time convenient for you.

Better still, a PDR repair can be up to a whopping 85% less expensive than a traditional body shop would charge – yes, a potential 85% saving on your repair cost! In fact, PDR is so economical that it can often add more to the value of your vehicle than the price of the repair itself. These are just some of the many advantages of Paintless Dent Removal.
