What Is Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless Dent Repair is a specialized process for removing minor dents from your vehicle’s body panels without the need for fillers or repainting. Using precise tools and techniques, expert technicians massage the damaged metal back to its original shape from behind the panel, leaving the paint undisturbed.

PDR is ideal for:

• Hail damage
• Door dings
• Minor collision dents
• Shopping cart impacts
• Other small, paint-preserved imperfections

Why Urgency Matters
Even small dents affect more than just looks—addressing them quickly can:

• Prevent further paint cracking or chipping, which leads to rust
• Maintain your vehicle’s resale value by keeping the exterior pristine
• Save on repair costs—early repairs are simpler and less expensive
• Keep your car protected against weather and corrosive damage

The Paintless Dent Repair Process
At American Collision, we follow a meticulous, proven process for every PDR job:

1. Assessment

Our experienced technicians inspect the dent’s size, depth, and location to confirm it’s suitable for PDR.

2. Gaining Access

• We gently remove trim, panels, or lights to reach the back side of the dent—without harming surrounding parts.

3. Precision Dent Removal

• Specialized PDR tools are used to carefully massage and reshape the metal from behind the panel, using controlled pressure to avoid paint damage.
• If access is limited, we may use glue pulling techniques to draw out the dent from the surface.

4. Finishing Touches

• The area is recreated flawlessly, with final checks and polishing to ensure a smooth, factory-quality appearance
