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.
