Paintless Dent Repair
The Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) process removes hail dents or other types of damage from a vehicle's exterior surface panels without disturbing the finish.
How Does Paintless Dent Removal Work?
- Specialized tools apply pressure to the backside of the panel to remove surface imperfections.
- Sometimes includes bonding a "tab" or other device to the exterior of the panel and pulling the dent from the topside.
- Refinishing isn't needed.
Your claim associate can provide additional information and help you choose a PDR vendor.
