PDR Services
We understand that your vehicle is an important part of daily life. Some repairs can be done while you wait, allowing you the customer to get back on the road with minimal down time. When looking to get a medium or large and complex dent removed always be sure to check out previous repairs by the company or technician you are hiring!
Just because a repair shop, body shop or technician said that it CANNOT be fixed using paintless dent repair DOES NOT mean that is true. We have had tons of customers over the years come to us for our opinion after being told by sometimes multiple shops in Naperville or Plainfield that their damages could not be removed using the paintless dent repair method!
What Is Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)
Accidental damage from a shopping cart or hail can quickly tarnish the flawless appearance of your vehicle. Faced with unsightly dents, many car owners seek fast and effective solutions. Fortunately, Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) offers a cost-effective and efficient method for repairing most car dents. Before the advent of PDR, fixing dents involved filling the damaged areas with body filler and attempting to match the car’s original paint—a process that often left visible imperfections due to the difficulty of achieving a perfect color match. PDR eliminates the need for repainting, maintaining the original paint and improving the overall repair quality.
How Does It Work?
Using specialized tools such as hammers, picks, glues, and tabs, a technician carefully manipulates the body panel back into its original shape. This is usually done by pushing the metal from the underside of the panel. In cases where this approach is challenging, special paint-safe glue can be used to pull the dent from the exterior. Although it sounds simple, PDR requires significant skill and precision to restore the metal to its original contours.
The Advantages of Paintless Dent Removal Over Auto Body Repairs
When it comes to fixing dents and dings on your vehicle, you have options. While traditional auto body repairs have been the go-to solution for many years, Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) has emerged as the superior choice. At A&G Dent Repair, we believe that PDR is the only true way to bring your vehicle back to its pre-existing condition. Here’s why:
Preserving Your Vehicle’s Original Finish
One of the most significant advantages of PDR is that it maintains your vehicle’s original factory finish. Traditional auto body repairs often involve sanding, filling, and repainting the damaged area. This process can never fully replicate the original paint job and may result in color mismatches or a decrease in your vehicle’s value. PDR, on the other hand, carefully massages the dent out from the inside, leaving your car’s paintwork untouched and looking as good as new.
Cost-Effective Solution
PDR is generally more affordable than traditional auto body repairs. Because it doesn’t involve the extensive materials and labor associated with sanding, filling, and repainting, PDR can save you a considerable amount of money. This cost-effectiveness makes it a popular choice for minor dents and dings.
Time Efficiency
Time is money, and PDR is a much quicker process than traditional repairs. While conventional bodywork can take several days or even weeks, PDR can often be completed in just a few hours. This means you can get back on the road faster, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Environmentally Friendly.
PDR is also an environmentally friendly option. Traditional repairs use various chemicals and materials that can be harmful to the environment. Since PDR doesn’t require these, it significantly reduces the environmental impact of dent repair.
Retaining Vehicle Value
Maintaining your vehicle’s original paint and bodywork is crucial for retaining its value. PDR helps preserve the integrity of your car’s exterior, which is especially important if you plan to sell or trade it in the future. Potential buyers are more likely to pay top dollar for a vehicle that hasn’t undergone invasive bodywork.
Versatility
PDR is suitable for a wide range of minor dents and dings, including hail damage, door dings, and minor creases. In some cases, PDR can even be used when the paint is chipped or cracked, though touch-up paint may be required. However, if severe damage that affects the structural integrity of the panel may still require traditional paint work, PDR is an excellent solution for straightening the metal. This reduces the need for filler, leading to a longer-lasting and more durable repair.
