Question 1

How Does Paintless Dent Repair Work?

Accepted Answer

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) uses specialized tools to gently massage metal back into its original shape from behind the panel — without any paint, fillers, or body shop chemicals. A trained technician accesses the dent from behind and works the metal until the panel is restored.

Question 2

What Types of Dents Can Be Repaired with PDR?

Accepted Answer

PDR works best on hail dents, door dings, crease dents, and body line dents where the paint is still intact and not cracked or chipped. It is ideal for round dents and small to medium creases.

Question 3

How Much Does Paintless Dent Repair Cost?

Accepted Answer

PDR is typically much more affordable than a traditional body shop because there are no material costs for paint, fillers, or replacement panels. Cost depends on the size, depth, and location of the dent. Contact Dentcraft of Texas for a free estimate.

Question 4

How Long Does Paintless Dent Repair Take?

Accepted Answer

Most PDR repairs take a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the number and severity of dents. Traditional body shops often take weeks. PDR is significantly faster.

Question 5

Is Paintless Dent Repair Covered by Insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hail damage repair via PDR is typically covered under comprehensive auto insurance. Dentcraft of Texas assists with insurance claims to make the process as simple as possible.

Question 6

Will PDR Damage My Original Factory Paint?

Accepted Answer

No. Paintless Dent Repair does not touch, alter, or damage your original factory paint in any way. That is one of its biggest advantages over traditional body shop repairs.

Question 7

Does PDR Show Up on Carfax?

Accepted Answer

Paintless Dent Repair typically does not show up on a Carfax report because it is not an insurance claim for collision damage and involves no structural repairs. This helps preserve your vehicle's resale value.
