Types of Car Dents Repaired with PDR?

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a modern, non-invasive technique used to remove dents from vehicles without affecting the original paint. But what types of dents can be repaired with PDR? Let’s break it down.

Dents Suitable for Paintless Dent Repair

• Small dings (door dings, shopping trolley dents): These are the most common and perfect for PDR.

• Hail dents: Multiple shallow dents caused by hail are easily repaired using PDR.

• Crease dents: As long as the paint is intact, many crease dents can be successfully removed.

• Large dents: Dents the size of a tennis ball or larger may still be repaired with PDR, depending on depth and access.

• Panel dents without paint damage: If there’s no cracking or chipping of the paint, PDR is often possible.

When PDR Might Not Be Suitable

• Paint is cracked, chipped, or stretched

• The dent is on the edge of a panel or in a very tight spot

• Damage includes sharp body lines or crushed metal

Benefits of Using Paintless Dent Repair

• Faster repairs – Often same-day service

• No repainting required – Maintains original factory finish

• Cost-effective – Lower labour and material costs

• Eco-friendly – No chemicals or paints used
