How Does Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Work?

Paintless dent repair, also known as paintless dent removal, or PDR for short, is a highly skilled metal working craft developed specifically for removing minor dents from the panels of an automobile. It is also used to repair larger dents, creases, and hail damage. Using special tools and lights, a PDR technician carefully applies pressure by making a series of pushes to the underside of a dent, releasing the tension created by the dent and relaxing the metal back to its stamped shape.

If you've not had hail damage before, chances are you are not familiar with Paintless De​nt Removal (PDR) repairs. You'll be happy to hear that PDR dent repair is performed in a fraction of the time needed for conventional body shop repairs, often in just 1-2 days for a car with hail damage. By retaining your vehicle's original panels and factory paint finish, paintless dent repair won't void any manufacturer's warranties, or generate CarFax reporting, insuring your car maintains the highest value possible. And since PDR uses no harsh chemicals, there's none of the toxic emissions that traditional body shop repairs create. 

​With these and many other benefits, it is no surprise that paintless dent removal has quickly become the preferred method for repairing hail damage and other minor dents. For more information about this revolutionary process, please visit our blog or check out these paintless dent repair and hail insurance claim FAQ's.

Consumer Notice: The craft of Paintless Dent Removal requires months of intensive training followed by years of practice to perfect. As with any industry, it is not uncommon to find inexperienced technicians or unsavory repair vendors, especially in the aftermath of a hailstorm. Not everyone who claims to know how to perform paintless dent removal actually does, and similarly, not every dent repair technician has experience with repairing hail damage. You should always do your homework before handing someone your keys, and/or insurance check!

Does Your Car Have Hail Damage?

Between the mobility and independence they provide and the often significant financial cost of owning one, for most consumers an automobile is one of their household's most beloved assets. Aside from a collision with another object or vehicle, few things diminish the value of a car as quickly as a hailstorm. And while many people get very upset after seeing their hail damaged car covered with dents, most are relieved to learn that their auto insurance policy provides coverage for hailstorm damage as, thankfully, around 80% of vehicle owners in the U.S.  carry comprehensive coverage on their auto insurance policies. Unlike coverages for a collision or liability damage, comprehensive auto insurance protects against vehicle damage caused by no fault of the owner, such as theft or vandalism, flooding, and hail.

Once a hail damage car insurance claim has been filed, an adjuster from the insurance company will inspect the dents and other car hail damage to determine an approximate auto hail repair cost. Using a PDR dent repair price chart, the insurance adjuster will estimate the hail damaged car's repair cost using paintless dent removal if possible, or in some cases, traditional auto body repair methods, along with the cost to replace any hail damaged moldings or glass and any other expense required to restore the vehicle to pre-loss condition. However, because hail damage car insurance claim inspections are usually performed hurriedly due to the influx of claims needing processed, and in less than optimal visual conditions, the auto hail repair estimates produced by most insurance adjusters are usually for much less than it will actually cost to repair the hail damaged vehicle. Because of this many insurance companies will issue a check on the spot on hail damage car insurance claims for the amount calculated by the claims adjuster, in hopes that the insured will use the insurance money for other things and they will not have to pay the full amount owed to have auto hail repair service performed.
​
For most vehicle owners still making payments on their vehicle, not repairing their car hail damage will be a huge mistake financially down the road.  Most insurance companies will try to steer you to one of their "in network" shops at this point, but you are actually free to have your hail damaged car repair done at a facility of your choosing, which usually results in a much higher repair quality, and often a much lower cost. For instance an independent dent repair shop does not have to follow the insurance company's pricing policies, and can usually reduce or even waive a customer's deductible amount. At Dealer's Hail & Specialty, we have worked hard to create a flawless customer experience which is underscored by our commitment to restoring your hail damaged car to full, pre-loss value with zero out of pocket costs to you! For more insurance claim do's and don'ts and great auto hail repair insider tips check out our hail damage car insurance claim FAQ's.
