Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is an industry recognized repair process that removes hail dents or other types of damage from a vehicle’s exterior surface panels without disturbing the finish.

Specialized tools are used to apply pressure to the backside of the panel to remove surface imperfections. Damage may also be repaired by bonding a "tab" or other device to the exterior of the panel and pulling the dent from the topside.

Paintless Dent Repair

  • Preserves your vehicle's finish
  • Reduces refinishing of adjacent, undamaged panels to achieve color match
  • Speeds up the repair process

You may select any repair facility.  If you use a facility that participates in our PDR program, State Farm® will guarantee your satisfaction with PDR work for as long as you own your vehicle, when:

  • You authorize repairs by a repairer we agree upon
  • PDR is listed on your estimate
  • We pay for the PDR repair

Please note:

Paintless Dent Repair may not be available in all service locations. Contact your State Farm agent or claim associate to review current service areas.
