Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is the technique of using specially designed tools to access and massage a dent from the underside. It allows The Dent Center to repair dents without paint or fillers – and without compromising your vehicle’s original finish!Before PDR, hail damage and parking lot dings meant a trip to the body shop. It was an outdated solution to a relatively simple problem – a problem that shouldn’t have involved bondo, primer or matching paint color. Fortunately, a simpler solution came with the advent of Paintless Dent Repair.

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is very effective for repairing almost any dent where the metal is not creased and the paint is not broken or cracked. It is especially effective for repairing hail damage.

There are a multitude of advantages to Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) at The Dent Center.

No. Hail damage is a comprehensive claim. Unlike a collision claim, it will not affect your rates.

Your insurance company could put an “unrepaired damage” restriction into effect on your policy. This would mean any future claims will be denied until your hail damage is repaired.

You generally have 30-60 days from the time of occurrence to start a claim. Call your insurance company before time runs out, and at least get a claim number. The Dent Center will handle the rest for you – it’s that simple.

If you go to a shop recommended by your insurance company, they are under contract with the insurance company and are required to charge you a deductible. That’s why it’s important to note, The Dent Center works on your behalf with a licensed independent adjuster to get your repair approved at the proper level, which means you are assured of the highest quality service. Plus, we can help with your deductible and still offer you our Lifetime Warranty.
