Paintless Dent Repair

PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR

Distracted driving isn’t the only risk to your vehicle’s well-being. Distracted parking takes its toll as well. People slam open ever-increasingly larger doors, haphazardly push shopping carriages in the general direction of where they belong, and extend more attention to devices and multitasking than parking or exiting and entering their vehicles.

Custom Auto Body paintless dent repair saves time and money by restoring the exterior surface to perfect condition. Whether small dents and dings in your vehicle’s body or hail damage repair, we have been providing expert auto body repair, paintless dent repair, and painting since 1961. Our dent repair experts take great pride in providing you quality work at a great price. That’s why when paintless dent repair came to the United States in 1983, we took interest and adopted this advancement to provide our customers great savings in both time and money. 

With the average length of new vehicle ownership now nearly seven years, making the most out of those years is more important than ever. Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) at Custom Auto Body preserves the original paint, so you never have to worry about color matching, Bondo® (plastic body filler) shrinking, or paint imperfections. It’s also an efficient process that gets you back on the road in no time.

WHAT IS PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR?

Paintless dent repair, or paintless dent removal, is a process of removing minor dents and dings from the body of a motor vehicle without having to repaint it. Repairs made this way require a skilled technician with experience in the field since it is almost an art form to remove the dent without cracking the paint. 

HOW IS IT DONE?

Paintless dent repair is a collection of techniques that push the dent out from the inside. Special tools are used to work the metal from the inside out until you can’t see the damage anymore. Special lighting is used to see the distortion of the dent and to help the technician locate the tip of the tool being used to force the metal back into place. 

WHEN IS IT USEFUL?

Paintless dent repair is great for repairing the little dents with a leased vehicle return, an auction preparation, or rental car maintenance. It is also used for hail damage and door dings. This method works on both aluminum and steel panels. However, if there is paint damage or the dent is too deep, this may not be the solution. Usually the shallower the dent, the better your chances of using paintless dent repair. The dent can be large in diameter but not deep. A traditional repair and paint job may then be required. 

HOW DO I KNOW IF PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR WILL FIX MY VEHICLE?

In order to get an accurate assessment, the only way to know for sure is to have an expert inspect your damage. If the dent is too big or deep or paint is missing, you are a candidate for a traditional repair. Contact us to arrange an inspection of your dent. We will be glad to advise you on the best repair method.
